A few days ago, Pres. BO announced that he'd be closing GITMO in one year.
Unfortunately for Pres BO, we continue to read about the GITMO alumni and their post-GITMO work.
Today, we learned:
"Two men released from the US "war on terror" prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.
One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP.
Three other men appear in the video, including Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi, identified as an Al-Qaeda field commander.
What do you do with these people?
You keep them at GITMO.
At least, they can't kill us down there!
Check out IBD:
"The real lesson is: Don't release these killers into anyone's care.
Keep them locked up in Cuba or they'll just resurface with al-Qaida or the Taliban and attack us again.
Some argue that there's a new commander in chief now, and new rules in the war on terror.
So deal with it.
While it is his prerogative to change the rules, the enemy is operating under old rules — 1,400-year-old rules, to be exact — and it's not changing its tactics.
And it would like nothing better than to have 245 more of its battle-hardened dogs return to the front line.
If the new commander in chief is not careful, Gitmo's ghosts may come back to haunt us all."
