Presumably most of them are serious bad guys (I think small time dealing and possession would usually land you in state prison, not federal prison, but I may be wrong), but I'd bet some substantial fraction were little danger to anyone but themselves. And at any rate, we spend a lot of money locking those people up--the war on drugs and our broader society-wide decision to lock up lots of people may make the streets safer (though I think we have to be far past the point of diminishing returns), but it sure costs a lot of money and a lot of years of peoples' lives being locked in a cage and occasionally raped by the guards or other inmates.NOTAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-71363220244345161122011-10-25T20:40:43.234-07:002011-10-25T20:40:43.234-07:00"16 Things Libya Will Never See Again"

We outmaneurvered the Sunni insurgents by allowing Shia death squads to slauhgter them until they came to us for protection. That happened well before the surge. The last year or so of heavy American causulties, we were mainly being attacked by Shia militias. The lame US media never clarified that. That's what all the braying about "explosively formed penetrators" was about -- Iran told the Shia militias how to make them. <br /><br />Once the Iran backed factions of the Shia(as opposed to the more Western, secular Shia lead by Ayad Allawi) had consolidated political control, Iran called off it's proxy militias and attacks against US troops went down. The US did not really retake Basra. The Sadr militia humiliated the Iraqi army in its failed US ordered assault, then were ordered to stand down by Iran. A Sunni-secular coalition won the last election, but the Iranian backed government simply refused to leave power and put opposition leaders in jail. <br /><br />Iran won the war.ATBOTLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-27361223342900904902011-10-25T12:49:00.185-07:002011-10-25T12:49:00.185-07:00justice for Lockerbie...finally.
