Oops! Freed Gitmo alumni plotted airline bombing.
Wahington Examiner ^ | 12/28/09 | David Freddoso

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.

Gee, who would have expected "art therapy" to fail on terrorists?

WTF is “art therapy” and why couldn’t they do it sitting in their cells with a box of crayons and a coloring book?

Good thing they weren’t focusing on Air Farce One on its way to Hawaii.

It just goes to show that art therapy is advocated by both Democrats and Republicans.

“Blame it on Bush?”

Yup. Unless Bush was forced to release these animals by the courts because of congressional/liberal pressure.

They can blame it on Bush, that’s fine but it won’t help the fact that it screws closing gitmo (hopefully) thus hurting Obama further with his base.

“Blame it on Bush?”

No way. If this was Bush’s doing the world would have loved us even before Dear Leader became our Dear Leader. obvious/s
