Number of Ex-Gitmo Prisoners Rejoining Terror Higher Than Reported
Human Events ^ | March 12, 2009 | Rowan Scarborough

Posted on 03/12/2009 8:40:57 AM PDT by Sergeant Tim

The number of ex-Guantanamo detainees who have gone back to terrorism is much larger than the government is letting on.

A senior intelligence official, who has access to some of the country's top secrets, tells HUMAN EVENTS that some Pentagon analysts actually believe 102 former enemy combatants have returned to terror -- not 61 as publicly reported by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

That would mean that of 520 terrorists released from the Guantanamo Bay prison, nearly 20 percent returned to the practice of killing to achieve their radical view of Islam.

The number is gaining importance in light of the fact that President Obama has announced he intends to close the Guantanamo facility. This means scores of additional detainees not deemed releasable by the Pentagon -- at least until now -- will be sent back to their home countries. It also sends a signal to countries now holding ex-Guantanomo prisoners that it might be OK to release them, too.

Why the discrepancy between 102 and 61?

My problem is they are burned in my brian; I don’t need the photos. The top one is from a former college friend of my brother-in-law; he took it himself that day and gave it to me after the funeral (Diogenies lifted it from one of my recent posts).

The terrorists allegiance to their Allah/jihad is stronger than democrats allegiance to their country (of which they hate!).

Terrorists will not be rehabilitated if that’s what these fools think.

So 1 if 5 of those RELEASED returned to murdering infidels. More evidence that my strategery of “kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out” is a better policy.

They are the most barbaric murderers imagineable and Obama wants to read them their rights.

It’s a fact that terrorists released from Gitmo are already back at it. What will Obama and his Socialist Party say when we have another 9/11, or worse? Another 9/11 would destroy what is left of our economy, our republic, and the Constitution. Chaos would ensue. No doubt the terrorists know this, and are making plans.

The release of the Gitmo rats is a major threat, but Obama is asleep at the wheel.

“That would mean that of 520 terrorists released from the Guantanamo Bay prison, nearly 20 percent returned to the practice of killing to achieve their radical view of Islam.”

This fact alone should be sufficient to make anyone with a brain totally opposed to releasing more of them. Is Obama blind, deaf, and dumb?

They oppose the war not because it is "immoral" but rather because they support the enemy.

Exactly. It needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

David Horowitz explained it well in, "Unholy Alliance, Radical Islam and the American Left." Hussein's administration is filled with them. They are not on the side of these United States. God help us.

Their actions make sense only when we accept the fact that they purposely do not act in the best interests of our country. The American Left has the same short term goal as the terrorists; neuter the West as a force against Islam.
