CNN: We need a long-term solution for captured ISIS members
CEP Senior Diplomatic Advisor Marc Ginsberg writes: "The crumbled ISIS caliphate has bequeathed the world a terrible inheritance: Thousands of captured ISIS fighters and their families, many of whom remain dedicated to ISIS. And with the apparent re-emergence, via video, of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Monday encouraging what remains of ISIS to continue, radical detainees represent an even greater risk. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that a plan for a long-term sustainable solution be thought of. The one viable alternative is to create a larger, remote, offshore penal colony for these ISIS terrorists. One that would have the resources to hold more captured ISIS fighters and their families.”
