I agree that Bush shouldn't have released him but if it wasn't this Al-qaeda guy then Obama would find another one to lead the “rebels”.
We must also remember that when Bushwas President, the attacks from the Democrats on Guantanomo were at their height. He was pressured from the word go.
Now the thing about Bush is that he succombed to that pressure, He passed the first stimulus under pressure and he did not use Guantanomo as he should have. Much like his daddy succombed to his Read my lips no new tax’s,
They both folded up like a cheap suit and it destroyed both their legacy’s.
