A Guantanamo inmate once named as a top Taliban intelligence official who kept Stinger missiles and uranium at his farm is among four men who have been released and sent back to Afghanistan.
Mohammed Zahir was a leading Taliban weapons supplier, according to his official Guantanamo file, leaked three years ago to The Telegraph by the Wikileaks hacker group.
“Detainee was arrested on suspicion of possessing weapons including Stinger missiles and uranium, which detainee’s recovered documents indicate was intended for use in a nuclear device,” Zahir’s threat assessment read. Zahir and the other three men, two of them members of militias linked to the Taliban, were released after their threat level was dramatically reduced.

Well, Duh, the Taliban and/or ISIS sent word to Obama that they need more battlefield generals in order to keep killing Americans.
Obama knows no limits at this point. When does the NSA and CIA begin to do it’s job?
Was congress notified this time?
He’s closing Gitmo by proxy. If there’s no one in it, it’s essentially closed.
don’t capture em next time, Eliminate them.
The Oval Office Cell has been hard at work.
Obama will hand over Gitmo to his new Cuban pals.
And, then, it can be given back to Cuba. A little gift for the brothers Castro from their new friend...
Heck, it might make a nice new secure presidential compound for the Castro family? Just knock out a few walls, install some nice floor tiles, and heat the swimming pool. The heliport pad is already there.
I think you are right. Obama will continue to release groups of terrorists under any pretext and then terminate the lease to give the land back to the Castros.
We have to look on the lighter brighter side... When these monsters nuke New York at least the New York Times will cease to exist...
