Two men released from the US “war on terror” prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.

One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP. [...]

The Defense Department has said as many as 61 former Guantanamo detainees — about 11 percent of 520 detainees transferred from the detention center and released — are believed to have returned to the fight.

an 11% recidivism rate is outstanding, i think our prisons are in the 80-90% range.

my question is, why are these...people...released back into the wild without being radio-tagged and monitored?

The logical conclusion, and it's not too far away, is that these scum will be tried in courts of law.

There is a very good reason why civil law, criminal law and the laws of war are separate.

War is not crime. Treating it like crime is a guaranteed one-way street to crushing defeat.

If you want the perfect way to lose a war, just put lawyers in charge of it.
