So we teach them mathematics and then one day release them in Afghanistan...great now they can add up but can't get a job because they have no trade - and end up working as labourers.
What good is a highly educated person when the only work around is shepherding sheep (a skill that they don't possess)?
Or are they going to be granted US citizenship where those skills will acutally be of use? You have to be pragmatic about these things - they need skills which will be of use to them if they are to return to their home country...

And a terrorist is a terrorist, no matter how old he is. 15 year old boys are potentially a bigger threat than their adult brothers in arms, because people might not regard them dangerous. I mean, who suspects a kid ?
