Nearly one in four terrorists released from the detention facility at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, resumed terrorist activities against the United States and the number is expected to rise, according to a report to Congress by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
The report, made public Tuesday, stated that out of a total of 598 detainees released as of October, 150 were confirmed or suspected of "reengaging in terrorist or insurgent activities after transfer," the two-page unclassified summary said.
The report's findings prompted a harsh response from Sen. Christopher S. Bond, Missouri Republican and vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, who criticized President Obama for ordering the prison in Cuba closed.
"Unfortunately, these latest numbers make clear that fulfilling a campaign promise to close Guantanamo Bay is overriding what should be the administration's first priority — protecting Americans from terrorists," Mr. Bond said in a statement announcing the release of the report.
"It is unacceptable to continue transferring these dangerous detainees when we know that one in four are confirmed or suspected of returning to the fight," he said.
Mr. Bond noted that for the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, only 19 Islamist terrorists were required and that having 80 terrorists "on the loose is alarming."
"If one of these dangerous detainees attacks our troops or civilians, I don't know how the administration will explain to the American people that we had him in custody, knew the risk he could return to the fight, and let him go anyway," he said.

How can that be??
So can we kill them the second time instead of just arresting them?
Some people think it's a good policy.
That has my vote!
Just question them and blow their pathetic brains out next time.
“What we should do is put a subcutaneous RFID tracker into these scumbags before we release them Track them back to their Jihadist buddies and send them a MQ-9 Reaper (Predator B) wake-up call with a Hellfire missile.”
