Maybe domestic terrorism but not international. Private prisons only make money when people are captured alive and locked up on US soil.
International terrorism makes great money for the military complex, when a good customer uses it as an excuse for an invasion. And then employment goes up, people focus away from the domestic problems, politicians get their kickbacks without sacrificing an election, you've heard this story a million times...
Until they run GitMo too?
You might want to rephrase. I assume you're saying, the perversity goes well beyond prisons, including the companies that profit from war and paranoia generally. But as your comment stands, its hard to tell.
