It is essential that we shift the focus from solely detainment and imprisonment to addressing the ideological mindset during prolonged incarceration. It is possible to effect an ideological transformation in detainees that qualifies them to be reclassified as no longer posing a security threat.

</p>Terrorist Rehabilitation: The U.S. Experience in Iraq Review
This book is an excellent study on the rehabilitation of terrorist by "reprogramming" and providing needed skill-sets allowing then to provide back to their society in a respectable "western" manner. I purchased this book for a totally different reason. I am very interested in the turning and re-turning of surrendered or captured enemy terrorist/insurgents back into combat in a tactic know as pseudo-operations.Pseudo-operations are those in which forces of one power disguise themselves as enemy forces. For example, a state power may disguise teams of operatives as insurgents and, with the aid of defectors (volunteers, surrenders or captured), infiltrate insurgent areas. The aim of such pseudo-operations may be to gather tactical or operational intelligence or to engage in direct action operations.
During the Mau Mau uprising in the 1950s, captured Mau Mau members who switched sides and were specially trained British troops initiated the pseudo-gang concept to successfully counter Mau Mau. In 1960 Frank Kitson, published "Gangs and Counter-Gangs", an account of his experiences with the technique in Kenya; information included how to counter gangs and measures of deception, how to turn terrorist, including the use of defectors, which brought the issue a wider audience.
Over all this text provide an excellent frame work to develop a program to turning terrorist; due to the many similarities between a reintegration program and that of turning terrorist to support the counter-insurgent/terrorist force. This book focuses on the reintegration programs in Iraq so it takes the extremist religious aspect in to full account, were most pseudo-operations of the past did not really deal with.
This is a somewhat expensive book, but if you want academic information on this subject this the book for you.
