Saudi Arabia has developed a rehab program for Al-Queda terrorists.

Each of those on the Saudi rehabilitation course once stood accused of involvement in domestic or international terrorism, usually linked to al-Qa'eda. Abu Suleiman's own rehabilitation included talks with religious scholars about Muslim doctrine. The Koran, they pointed out, prohibited the killing of citizens regardless of their religion.

In addition, psychologists helped him overcome the trauma inflicted by his time as a "jihadist" and by his four years in Guantanamo.

Finally, last year, the authorities gave him his freedom, a job and a car. And when he married last month, a representative of Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the minister who began the programme, attended the ceremony.

I'd like to think that these guys have been de-radicalized, but part of me suspects they're only in it for the job and the car; one word from Osama bin Laden, and I fear they'd fall off the wagon (or is it on the wagon?).
