Former GITMO Detainee is Now a Leader of Al Qaeda
President Obama signed an executive order to close GITMO before he even decided what should be done with the terrorists that are being held there. This was a rash decision that he made to keep the far left wing of the Democrat party happy.
It has been reported that 61 former GITMO detainees have returned to the battlefield to fight against American troops. The most recent example is Said Ali al-Shihri, who is now a deputy leader for Al Qaeda.
al-Shihri was released and returned to Saudi Arabia where he went through (I am not making this up) a rehabilitation program for former Jihadists.
He was released to Saudi Arabia in 2007 and passed through a Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists before resurfacing with Al Qaeda in Yemen.
I guess the rehabilitation didn’t take. Maybe we should give him yet another chance. Maybe if President Obama can reason with him he will under go the rehabilitation program again. Perhaps President Obama can even find out why he hates America.
These are the type of people that we are keeping at GITMO and these are the people with whom President Obama has decided to take a stand with. These people are dangerous enemies of the United States and President Obama doesn’t even know what the hell he is going to do with them once the prison is closed.

If they do end up getting sent to supermax in CO, they better hope they stay separated all 24 hrs. Because if the rapists and murderers get a hold of them, well, Obama won’t have to worry about what to do with them anymore. Maybe there will be a cannibal or two, also. Yeah sick I know, but they deserve anything they get.

What concerns me if they do indeed end up in American prisons – God forbid – is the possibility of these radicals converting Americans to their ideology. What a mess that would be. Geesh we’re only a few days into the Obama presidency and I am already getting a headache!

Not that I want to defend Obama’s actions as I think he went too far in the other direction. What should happen to these scumbags?
There are a number of people in Gitmo who have not really done anything beyond being an “enemy combatant.” In other words, there are no real crimes with which they can be charged. Personally, I do not see how keeping them detained indefinitely is consistent with some of the beliefs on which this country was founded.
I don’t know… why can’t we just treat them like POWs and let them have the Geneva Convention rights?

If they are POWs than they should be held until the war is over. GITMO sounds like the perfect place to keep them to me. 61 former GITMO detainees returned to the battle field after release, that is a fairly significant number.
