Yes.

But I beg to difer even on that account.  I have released all of the
units that I captured that have complained via e-mail with one
exception.  When Kethry requested being released, I did so returning
every coin of gold as well.  I actually considered releasing the Men
in Black, not because of your threat but because I didn't (and still
don't) know what to do with them.  I didn't give them back to Maidez
de la Montt because, at the time, he was attacking everyone in sight
and it would have been like giving a gun to a baby.  I may still
release them.  I won't deny I have terrorized them and persuaded them,
just to see what would happen, but they aren't dead and considering
their past activities, I don't find such activity entirely unwarranted
from an "in game" perspective.  As for the others, *I* have only used
persuade on them which isn't necessarily what I would call
"brainwashing".  Consider it persuading them that walking around alone
is a lot more dangerous than being in my faction.  This is a realistic
way of looking at it -- especially considering the relatively
non-violent manner I captured them in and the amount of gold I have
spent on this activity.
