| Pentagon: More returning to fight after Gitmo |
| 2010-01-07 |
| More of the terror suspects released from the Guantanamo Bay prison are returning to the fight, the Pentagon said Wednesday. A new report shows the recidivism rate among former suspects released from the U.S. prison in Cuba continues its upward trend, Defense Department press secretary Geoff Morrell said. He did not release the figures, but he said officials are working to declassify the latest report so the rate can be made public. good luck on getting that one past the 'most transparent administration in history' The rate of those returning to militancy was first reported early last year to be 11 percent. In April it was 14 percent. Morrell said he believes the numbers are rising because the majority of prisoners have been released and officials are down to the most difficult cases. see... it IS bush's fault afterall "There is no foolproof answer in this realm. That's what makes this so difficult," he told reporters at a Pentagon news conference. I can think of a pretty easy solution that would lead to zero recidivism I dunno, I swear some of these guys come back from the dead ... Nearly half of the remaining 198 detainees at Guantanamo Bay are from Yemen. U.S. officials believe two Saudis released from Guantanamo, one in 2006 and the other in 2007, may have played significant roles in al-Qaida activities in Yemen. just goes to show that you can take the terrorist out of the jihad, but there is no getting the jihad out of the terrorist |
