The counter-terrorism system they've conceived is worth learning about. They basically erred on the side of "too much surveillance, but alive" over "bomb them all 'til they're dead."

Given the near complete absence of terror in the region over the last few years, I'd say it worked to some end.

Compared to when?


There's plenty of state terror. So in terms of QALY it's pretty close to being dead.
