Another reason his “snap decision” to sign an order without thinking it through. You simply cannot close Gitmo. Today’s Washington Post blames the Bush administration – bad case records- but the simple fact is that those 245 terror suspected are there for a reason, and letting any of them go – just arbritarily could come back to bite America in the butt. As it already has. AFP is reporting that two ex Gitmo inmates are now appearing in an Al Qaeda Video.

“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. SITE later said he was prisoner No. 333.”

Thirty some years ago while working the DMZ in Korea we captured a couple of North Korean regulars. After bringing them in for questioning, we also feed them, clothed them and even nursed one back to health as all three were showing signs of malnutrition.

Then after offering them asylum in the South, and they declined, we returned them in a ceremony at Panmunjom. I’ll never forget them walking across the demarkation line, stripping off the clothing we gave them, spitting on the ground that designated our side and finally flipping us off as they walked back to tyranny.

We can expect nothing less of these prisoners who now – including five of the 9/11 suspects – to do any less.
