On my way to work this morning I was scanning FM radio stations, and caught a brief snip of a conversation with Gerald Post. I think he was saying that his lessons learned from past dealings with groups holding nearly intractable extreme positions implied a suggestion of the process needed to bring a group of people identified as potential terrorists to a conversation space where a healthy relationship has a chance to emerge.

There is a diverse array of people who know how to make that plan work.

Anyone within two degrees of separation of this man?

Thanks

Did you hear how he gets these folks into a contained space long enough for the conversion to happen? It sounds very interesting, but short of using illegal detainment I don't know how you actually do it.

Celia,

"Did you hear how he gets these folks into a contained space long enough for the conversion to happen?" doesn't sound remotely close to what I heard.

Can you provide a source to what you were hearing?

Thanks.
