Forget the Koran

If you want to enrage terrorist prisoners in Gitmo, desecrate their Harry Potter books.  Seriously.  Apparently, in between torture sessions, we give the prisoners access to a nice library of books; the most popular among the terrorists is Harry Potter.

Now, I can hear some of you saying, "see, I told you those Potter books were evil!"  Others of you will snicker, "see, I told you those prisoners were being tortured!"

I, on the other hand, view this news as a sign of hope.  Most of these prisoners have never lived in an environment where they could obtain, possess, and read a book like Harry Potter without fear of being beheaded.  Maybe, just maybe, exposure to new ideas and (ironically, considering they are in prison) new freedoms will open up some of those skulls sealed shut by 1,400 years of hatred.  Maybe a few, and it might only take a few, of the hundreds of incarcerated terrorists will start to look at the West in a different light.

Perhaps some of them can be persuaded to turn on their islamofascist leaders.

I think Dumbledore would call that a good thing.

Plus, as the Llamabutchers pointed out, it gives us new interrogation leverage. "Talk or we'll spoil the ending!"

There is always hope.
