This should really make you upset. And after congress had halted such transfers from happening too!
The Department of Defense announced today the transfer of 15 detainees: Abd al-Muhsin Abd al-Rab Salih al-Busi, Abd al-Rahman Sulayman, Mohammed Nasir Yahi Khussrof Kazaz, Abdul Muhammad Ahmad Nassar al-Muhajari, Muhammad Ahmad Said al-Adahi, Abdel Qadir al-Mudafari, Mahmud Abd Al Aziz al-Mujahid, Saeed Ahmed Mohammed Abdullah Sarem Jarabh, Mohammed Kamin, Zahar Omar Hamis bin Hamdoun, Hamid al-Razak (aka Haji Hamidullah), Majid Mahmud Abdu Ahmed, Ayub Murshid Ali Salih, Obaidullah, and Bashir Nasir Ali al-Marwalah from the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to the Government of the United Arab Emirates.
As directed by the president's Jan. 22, 2009, executive order, the interagency Guantanamo Review Task Force conducted a comprehensive review of these cases. As a result of those reviews, which examined a number of factors, including security issues, 6 of the 15: al-Busi, Sulayman, Kazaz, al-Muhajari, al-Adahi, and al-Mudafari were unanimously approved for transfer by the six departments and agencies comprising the task force.
Periodic Review Boards consisting of representatives from the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, and State; the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence determined continued law of war detention of 9 of the 15: al-Mujahid, Jarabh, Kamin, bin Hamdoun, al-Razak (aka Haji Hamidullah), Ahmed, Salih, Obaidullah, and al-Marwalah does not remain necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States. As a result of those reviews, which examined a number of factors, including security issues, al-Mujahid, Jarabh, Kamin, bin Hamdoun, al-Razak (aka Haji Hamidullah), Ahmed, Salih, Obaidullah, and al-Marwalah were recommended for transfer by consensus of the six departments and agencies comprising the Periodic Review Board. The Periodic Review Board process was established by the president's March 7, 2011 Executive Order 13567.
Name Date of Periodic Review Board final determination Mahmud Abd Al Aziz al-Mujahid Jan. 7, 2014 Saeed Ahmed Mohammed Abdullah Sarem Jarabh Mar. 5, 2015 Mohammed Kamin Sept. 28, 2015 Zahar Omar Hamis bin Hamdoun Jan. 12, 2016 Hamid al-Razak (aka Haji Hamidullah) Feb. 11, 2016 Majid Mahmud Abdu Ahmed Feb. 18, 2016 Ayub Murshid Ali Salih Mar. 23, 2016 Obaidullah May 19, 2016 Bashir Nasir Ali al-Marwalah May 31, 2016
In accordance with statutory requirements, the secretary of defense informed Congress of the United States' intent to transfer these individuals and of the secretary's determination that these transfers meet the statutory standard.
The United States is grateful to the Government of the United Arab Emirates for its humanitarian gesture and willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. The United States coordinated with the Government of the United Arab Emirates to ensure these transfers took place consistent with appropriate security and humane treatment measures.
Today, 61 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay.
I support their “release” ...... over the wide open Atlantic Ocean! Why can’t we do that with these vermin?
They never do anything. They give Obama a free pass to violate the law.
Not to worry, Trump said yesterday he is going to fill Gitmo up and use military tribunals to prosecute enemy combatants...
For the life of me I don’t know why they’ve been wasting oxygen for as long as they have. There is a war on terror, you have a whole bunch of them (they’re the worst of the worst) in one location.....why aren’t they dead?
Life in prison is too good for these animals that should have been killed on the battle field.
After reading the story, and before reading your reply to it, I had the same thought. Have the drop Zone CHUMMED for SHARKS First.
“Today, 61 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay.”
The goal: by January 2017, 0 at Guantanamo Bay.
obama is ISIS’ representative in America. He is simply advocating on behalf of his constituents.
>My Kritters, McCain,Flake and Kirkpatrick are all in the tank with Obama and have been since day one. Talking to them is like talking to a two year old. The only thing these self serving morons will understand is their own unemployment.
Because that has worked so well in the past?
Pfft..they could care less what we have to say.
Congressional representatives, whether Republican or Democrat have sold out the U.S.A.
for the sake of power and re-election to office to the totalitarian globalists .
The Democrat Maxists and Republican Vichy are complicit with each other,
furthering the agenda of making the electorate impotent , .. not relevant or important.
What do you want them to do? Most decent people (and I happen to believe there are many GOP leaders who qualify as decent) have the belief that any POTUS has the respect for their leadership, their constituents who sent them there and the decisions they make. Obama doesn’t, hasn’t and never will, so the next step is and has been IMPEACHMENT.
There would be hundreds of Milwaukees, Fergusons and Baltimores. Hundreds would be dead and guess who would forever be held responsible? Within minutes after the first were killed, media would explode and the blame placed squarely on Republicans for never working with the president, for not being able to control their racism, for attempting to impeach a beloved and popular president. I know, I know......the familiar response is “GOOD, it’s about time WE will destroy them”. This is laughable because there has not been one uprising against protesters, not one group has shown up in defense of law and order. The police are ordered to stand down and hand out snacks to the thugs. You think this isn’t the way it would go?
Barak Hussein Obama is having a going away party for some cut-throat Islamic murderers and YOUR invited!!
Where: GITMO
When: Soon
Who's leaving: Jihadists
Who's throwing the bash: Barak Hussein Obama
What to bring: An orange jump suit and nail files.
Not sure who I am more mad at, odumbo for his lawlessness or congress for letting him do what ever he damn well pleases. Last I heard, we DO HAVE a constitution which is supposed to be the law of the land for ALL to follow but odumbo has given himself ultimate authority to completely ignore it. The truly sad part is that congress lets him do it. We MUST demand that legislation be passed which limits their tenure to a brief longevity.
Our elected representatives could care less. Nearly all of them are deceitful liars whose only concern is manipulating the people to win another term in office.
In this country there are many professionals who work in different fields of endeavor. In Washington DC, there is only one profession: professional liar.
