If they had any common sense, they would offer him a job…
...but no. Let's waste a shitload of money hauling him across the Atlantic to make an example of him. Anyone with a brain can see he's not a terrorist; anyone with any sense would want to use his skills.
If you're treating someone who's not a terrorist like a terrorist to show terrorists how you deal with terrorists, then that's nonsensical, seeing as terrorists are terrorists and therefore not very likely to be swayed by the prospect of being brought to justice. So, it can't be that; it must be that someone who isn't a terrorist is being treated like a terrorist to try and show the public how terrorists will be dealt with. Which prompts the reasonable question: why not just fucking tell them? Or is that the contempt with which the public are viewed? That they won't understand something unless you show them, as if they are naughty and slightly slow children?

I think its more of a ‘step out of line sonny, making us look silly in the process, and you’re for the high jump’ type of lesson they’re sending here, rather than it being about terrorism per se.
