@Was it Bush who signed the release or was it some ACLU lawyer who worked the system?”
“Obama has directly worked for release. Im not aware that Bush did.”
Something here sounds fishy.
Maybe this guy slipped through the cracks or a Democratic mole in the DoD or State Department signed for him to be released.
It could even be that once Obama took office, this released terrorist became even more radicalized and had to be placed on the capture list.
