Terrorist Rehabilitation: The U.S. Experience in Iraq

Because terrorists are made, not born, it is critically important to world peace that detainees and inmates influenced by violent ideology are deradicalized and rehabilitated back into society. This volume demonstrates through the actual experiences of military personnel, defense contractors, and Iraqi nationals that deradicalization and rehabilitation programs can succeed and positively impact thousands of would-be terrorists globally if utilized to their full capacity. The book describes religious, vocational training, education, creative expression, and Tanweer programs introduced to the detainee population. It also offers insight into future steps based on lessons learned from current rehabilitation programs.
