#4  Chapter 13, The Sun Tzu:

11. Having converted spies, getting hold of the enemy's spies and using them for our own purposes.

14. Hence it is that which none in the whole army are more intimate relations to be maintained than with spies. None should be more liberally rewarded. In no other business should greater secrecy be preserved.

21. The enemy's spies who have come to spy on us
must be sought out, tempted with bribes, led away and comfortably housed. Thus they will become converted spies and available for our service.

22. It is through the information brought by the
converted spy that we are able to acquire and employ local and inward spies.

25. The end and aim of spying in all its five varieties is knowledge of the enemy; and this knowledge can only be derived, in the first instance, from the converted spy. Hence it is essential that the converted spy be treated
with the utmost liberality.

27. Hence it is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for purposes of spying and thereby they achieve great results. Spies are a most important element in war,
because on them depends an army's ability to move.

#3  Got your orders, Omar? Good. Do a good job up in Canada exposing all those prison jihadis.
We're counting on you...

#2  I think this is a part of the great game, 21st century edition. Perhaps the best way to stop jihadist recruitment of muslims in the west might just be to arrest all of them, keep em a week and turn then loose again. Then they will always be suspect for being CIA/MI6 recruits, doubles or even triples.

#1  Since this is being aired publicly, it sounds like the CIA is ensuring that the GITMO inmates have no where to go. I approve.
