    Default Camp Bucca: The US prison that became the birthplace of Isis

    An update from The Independent, which raises the issue if detention is used in a COIN / FID campaign, what do you do with the prisoners?

    Default If there was no American prison in Iraq, there would be no IS now.

    A long article in The Guardian, based on an interview with an ISIS veteran and entitled 'Isis: the inside story'. Some content is new IIRC.

    Default The Wider Threat of Terrorist Prison Breaks

    A Soufan Group IntelBrief 'The Wider Threat of Terrorist Prison Breaks' which opens with a reminder:
    Breaking their members out of prisons is one of the most effective tactics used by terrorist groups to reenergize and repopulate their ranks

    Since the Yemen is one of the cited examples, I do wonder why no jails have been opened on its islands, in particular Socotra. Somehow I doubt yemeni jails match those in the visiting facilities in the West.
