Five Yemenis transferred from U.S. custody at Guantanamo: Pentagon

No, terror was not on the rise. Do you not recall that barrack Obama said he was leaving behind a "stable and sovereign Iraq"? Obama in 2011: ‘We’re Leaving Behind A Stable And Self-Reliant Iraq’

Terror has been increasing since Obama pulled the American might out of Iraq, and of course the same thing will happen in Afghanistan. There is only one way to explain Barrack Obama's foreign policy, and his releasing of prisoners, is that he really is a Muslim. Do you see another explanation?

Indefinite detention without trial until a nebulous war with no actual ending is over?

That's a thing you're ok with?

Are you okay with BO peep placing Americans and American interests at more Risk of harm?

While I understand the words you wrote, hard to conceive the concept really works. We give a lot more than 12 years to a soldier who hands over embarrassing documents. If Obama was allowed to have these folks go to Federal court they would probably get life without parole. Lets face it, this is about closing the prison in Cuba not about what makes sense.

Heya WN. :2wave: Yeah check out Evan Bayh the Democrat on Fox News Sunday. They were discussing this very subject. In a nutshell Bayh even stated. Guantanamo and the excuse of.....is a cause of creating more ill will and terrorists. Is a bunch of BS.

Its not like if we close it up.....the terrorists will all of a sudden say. Lets not attack the US and their interests or people. As Bayh put it.....they will just come up with another excuse.

I try to keep up on what the terrorists have to say and, correct me if I'm wrong, but not one has yet said that they were inspired by Gitmo.

Islamic terrorism was taking place well before Gitmo was open and will continue if or when it is closed.

The real question here is why the US Government is saying such incorrect and foolish things. Is it another Jonathan Gruber happening; talking down to the stupids?

It's a positive turn when even Democrats admit to the obvious.

Heya Grant. :2wave: The Bush Administration released over 500. BO 190 something. There are many stating those left are the worst of the bunch. Granted that's what BO peep was left with. They are what they are.

Releasing them only increases the risk of them bringing harm to us. So the Press does need to ask BO peep and Joaaaash how can they deny this fact. If they remain confused.....then Right then and there. In front of the camera, take them thru the process of how the Risk has increased and what would the risk be if they are not released.

One thing is clear.....Bayh isn't afraid to tell it like it is. Including about BO's Foreign Policy.
 
For all those who dislike these releases;
What were they charged with?
 
Grant said:
They don't have to be charged with anything if they are POW's.

Looks like it doesn't matter what they were/are charged with anymore. Nor even who brought the charges. Such as the FBI.




Former 'enemy combatant' back in Qatar after release from U.S. prison.....

A Qatari man declared an enemy combatant following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and imprisoned as an al Qaeda operative has been freed from a U.S. prison and is back in Qatar, his lawyer said on Sunday. Ali al-Marri, who was convicted in 2009 of providing material support to al Qaeda, was released from federal prison in Colorado in the last few days and is home in Doha, Qatar, Charleston attorney Andy Savage said.

2015-01-19T204932Z_1_LYNXMPEB0I0SL_RTROPTP_2_USA-SECURITY-COURT.JPG


Marri, who is in his mid-40s, was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2001 and detained as a material witness to the Sept. 11 attacks. He was charged with credit card fraud and lying to the FBI and held for 18 months before the U.S. government dropped the charges in 2003. Marri pleaded guilty that year to one count of providing material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization. He was sentenced to eight years in prison.

Marri had been suspected of being an al Qaeda agent sent by the militant group to disrupt the U.S. financial system by hacking into bank computers.....snip~

Right. The sooner we release terrorists to commit more murders the better. Good grief!!

Carpet bombing governments that so clearly support and find terrorism.

Are you saying that they are their own prisoners?
That's silly.
Without declaring war the US can not claim POWs.
Without charges the US can not detain people.

Obama keeps saying we will win this battle, and then he keeps releasing the enemy. He's an idiot.. . . . . and a liar.

Of course not.....that's just silly to think they even would consider anything about being a prisoner when first declaring war and not being around ones enemy when doing so.

Are you saying AQ, Ansar Al Sharia and ISIS have not declared war on the US and Other Countries?

He understands the constitution.
Something you have yet to achieve.
Without a declared war and without formal charges of criminality there is nothing to hold them on.

No, I am saying the US hasn't.

How does this change the fact the US is in a State of Declared War by AQ which did so in 2 Fatwas. Did France declare War on AQ? Any other Ally of the US?

Better yet.....Did Yemen declare war on AQAP?

Greetings, d head. :2wave:

On what grounds have we been holding them on up until now? Since they have declared war on us and our allies, and we are bombing them which does look like war to many people, why are they being released now? Perhaps I'm missing something.... :confused:

Is that why he has bombed more countries than the last nine presidents and did it without going to Congress?

Is that why he violates our 1st and 2nd amendment rights?

Is that why he ignores Congress and tries to rule by executive fiat?

What planet are you on man.

Good question .
The better question is on what grounds were they first detained?
If charges can not be brought, why were they incarcerated?
Suspicion?

All valid questions except for the second third and last one.
Would you rather the President hadn't bombed anyone?
It sounds like maybe you do.

Suspicion is fine. Why not? Do you understand what war really is?
