The Incubator Effect

Mark Juergensmeyer from the University of California speaks of the "incubator effect." "One has to examine the penal system's role in creating more terrorism," Juergensmeyer said. He means to criticize the United States for producing terrorism behind the wires at Guantanamo.

Are there more or less terrorists now? Newsflash! And if terrorists are spawned in detention centres like that in Cuba, where did the the IRA, the FMLN, the FLQ, the FSLN, Qaddafi, Arafat, Abu Nidal, Daniel Ortega, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad, al-Qaeda and the Taliban come from?
