Danger! Prisoners of Guantanamo Bay

“In the report, the Pentagon confirmed that two former Guantánamo prisoners whose terrorist activities had been previously reported had indeed returned to the fight. They are Said Ali al-Shihri, a leader of Al Qaeda’s Yemeni branch suspected in a deadly bombing of the United States Embassy in Sana, Yemen’s capital, last year, and Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul, an Afghan Taliban commander, who also goes by the name Mullah Abdullah Zakir. ”
….
“The Pentagon has provided no way of authenticating its 45 unnamed recidivists, and only a few of the 29 people identified by name can be independently verified as having engaged in terrorism since their release. Many of the 29 are simply described as associating with terrorists or training with terrorists, with almost no other details provided.”

“It’s part of a campaign to win the hearts and minds of history for Guantánamo,” said Mark P. Denbeaux, a professor at Seton Hall University School of Law who has represented Guantánamo detainees and co-written three studies highly critical of the Pentagon’s previous recidivism reports. “They want to be able to claim there really were bad people there.”

So Pentagon realeases suspect of bombing Embassy of USA after a year when at the same time there are prisoners that have been in Guantanamo for several years. Many of which have already been found not guilty but who can’t be released because no country wants them.

“The report is the subject of numerous Freedom of Information Act requests from news media organizations, and Mr. Whitman said he expected it to be released shortly. The report, a copy of which was made available to The New York Times, says the Pentagon believes that 74 prisoners released from Guantánamo have returned to terrorism or militant activity, making for a recidivism rate of nearly 14 percent.”
…”Terrorism experts said a 14 percent recidivism rate was far lower than the rate for prisoners in the United States, which, they said, can run as high as 68 percent three years after release.”

Is it any wonder if 14% of the prisoners “get back” to terrorism after been locked up in a chicken cage for years? Let’s put 100 random people in prison and not tell them how long they have to be there and keep them awake for several days and interrogate them with maybe a small touch of torture. I’m no expert on human mind but I promise you that 14 of them will definitely want to blow up the of the person/nation/religion/ideology that put them in there.

And so that none of this bothers us, let’s put some funny cats at the end of this post
