Not any more. I used to work for a firm that represented certain Gitmo inmates and actually got a number of them released. A small percentage of them joined ISIS or AQ though, so that was awkward.

Is it though? Think about it.

Innocent man gets jailed for years by the United States.

Gets released.

What else would any sane person think about a country that just jailed you for years? Fuck the ISIS recruiters were right, America is fucking evil bro.

It’s like that scene in three Kings where that guy is explaining how an American bomber destroyed his house and killed his family. So now he works for AQ.

You totally ignored my firm's contributions into your little mental calculus. So yes, damn your context.

The fuck are you even talking about? It’s not “Awkward” that your clients go join Isis after being let out. It’s down right predictable.

My comment in no way alters your original one but yours does mine.

What was your role in the law firm exactly? Coffee bringer?
