The Guantanamo Bay detainee who U.S. authorities say is responsible for killing Americans was released during President George W. Bush’s time in office, according to a senior Obama administration official.

“Less than five percent of detainees released since January 2009 are confirmed of re-engaging in terrorism and, of those, none are assessed to have killed Americans,” the official told the Washington Examiner. […]

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said the “clear admission” by the Obama administration of the killings shows that the president’s efforts to close the facility are “detrimental to our security.” …

So the Obama administration is trying to say that only those Gitmo terrorists released by Bush are dangerous but not the ones released by Obama, seriously?

“Less than five percent of detainees released since January 2009 are confirmed of admitted to re-engaging in terrorism...

Fixed that to reflect reality.

These are the same people who said Christians are no better than muslims because of what they did 600 years ago. If their lips are movin’....well, you know.

I love that tagline!!!!! Can I use that other places????

[PghBaldy]

Assume this is true... then shouldn’t Obama do better, and not release any who could kill? /rhetorical

[Brilliant]

Even if it’s true, whose idea was it to start releasing these prisoners? The Democrats’ and the courts’. And if we’ve known since Bush that releasing Giftmo prisoners is a bad idea, then why is Obama still doing it?

Well let passive Bush come out and defend himself which he won’t.

Liberal logic:

Everything Bush did was bad.
0bama is doing the same things, only much more of it.
But it's OK because Bush did it too.

Don’t fall for this *hit headline....it’s all generated to take the heat off of Odungo for acting like a 10 yr old with a new bike while people are dying at the hands of his “protected” class

I guess the Big Zero never gets tired of blaming Bush. I wonder if he will accept blame for what the Big Zero did or did not do for the next 20 years? Probably not.

How many of those that ODUMBO released have killed Americans? Time for oudmbo to face the music.
