So if the rates rose you'd agree that handling them with kid gloves at Club G wasn't the right approach?
Rates of recidivism are higher now.

Shouldn't everyone strive to do what is best? Using that logic we should glean as much information on or near the battlefield, execute the terrorist and move on. That would save far more than money and lives. It wouldn't be as 'hearts and minds' but that's never won a war, has it?
Soccer (or appeasement) doesn't save lives, particularly in this situation, it makes our enemy believe we are weak. Same or similar to apologizing for burning a copies of a book that prisoners were using to pass information to each other.
