Now when we call terrorists “crazy”, it may take on a whole new meaning. According to Reuters, some Kuwaitis planning terrorist attacks have been getting themselves declared insane as a means of ensuring a lighter sentence if they’re caught, or throwing investigators off the trail. The article says that Kuwait is looking at reforming its mental health system to cut down on these false claims.
This is a gross abuse of the system, I agree. But then, do you really mean to tell me that someone who plots to murder hundreds or even thousands of innocent people should be considered mentally healthy?
