Former Guantanamo Prisoner Now Al Qaeda Leader

January 22nd, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

In a rather nasty, “Doh!” moment, one of the gremlins formerly housed in our prison at Guantanamo Bay has turned into an al Qaeda leader in Yemen. He even

passed through a Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists before resurfacing with Al Qaeda in Yemen.

And still our new head honcho wants to close Gitmo within a year. Brilliant idea there, eh? This isn’t a new problem, though. We’ve known that quite a number of former Gitmo inmates have shown up on battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan. When, exactly, will the left learn? I fear they won’t.

Almost half the camp’s remaining detainees are Yemenis, and efforts to repatriate them depend in part on the creation of a Yemeni rehabilitation program — partly financed by the United States — similar to the Saudi one. Saudi Arabia has claimed that no graduate of its program has returned to terrorism.

Uh, yeah. That’s working out really well, now, isn’t it? Rehabilitation doesn’t work any better for Islamic terrorists than it does for our own domestic violent criminals. There really are only two effective solutions for them: imprisonment and death. The left’s messiah is shutting down the former. How long before the latter is cut off as well and we’re back at square one?
