Following the news the other day of a former Gitmo detainee now heading al Qaeda’s Yemen group, now we have a report of two more former detainees showing up 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.
And just like the other day, the right is using this as their argument to keep Gitmo open. Will someone please ask these wingnuts why they want to keep the policies intact the play catch and release with these terrorists? This was George W. Bush’s policies that let these people go back into the wild, and the right seems content on having it that way, It would be nice if they could pull their heads out of their asses long enough to realize they are champion for al Qaeda.
