Misleading headline

The New York Liberal Times has this headline: Iraqis Freed by US Face Few Jobs and Little Hope. The suggestion behind the headline is that if the US hadn't detained them, they'd be in good shape. Here's what I think happened to these thugs: having no education and no job, they decided to pick up AK-47s and rocket launchers and use them against U.S. soldiers, and got themselves jammed up at Abu Ghraib. Now that they're out, they're in the exact same situation they could have expected if they hadn't made the error of fighting superior forces.
