I've Been Thinking:

On Monday the Kuwaiti government announced a new program for dealing with extremists.
The new program is called: Rehabilitation.

Kuwait said that they will be "treating" the extremists.
The problem with the announcement is that Kuwait did not clarify who and what constitutes an extremist or what rehab methods would be used.

This announcement by Kuwait sounds a lot like current Chinese and North Korean responses to social deviants and to the old Soviet style of reeducation.
My guess is that the Kuwaitis will engage in religious reprogramming and indoctrination. No mere idea reeks of Clockwork Orange.

There is a long history of imprisonment and torture of extremists in the Arab world. As unsavory as it sounds, the methods have been proven successful in the past.
