My Comment: This article holds back no punches. If only 10% are committed to violent jihad .... the mayhem that they can cause will be significant. Even the use of police and national security resources to watch and track these individuals .... which is probably what will occur when they are finally released .... will also be significant because these resources will just be diverted away from cases in which surveillance may be required.
