State Department: ‘Very Few’ Freed Gitmo Detainees Return to Terrorism David Rutz

BY: August 16, 2016 5:02 pm

State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Tuesday that “very few” released Guantanamo Bay detainees return to terrorism while addressing the transfer of 15 Gitmo prisoners by the Obama administration.

President Obama, who has sought to close Gitmo since he took office, sent 15 detainees to the United Arab Emirates this week, the largest single transfer of prisoners from the detention facility of his presidency. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) said the 12 Yemenis and three Afghans in the transfer are “among the worst terrorists who could jeopardize our national security and the lives of our troops.”

A reporter asked Toner whether the government could guarantee recidivism wouldn’t happen, and if not, why release the prisoners.

“The detainees have been vetted through what is a very rigorous process, and I can assure you that it’s a very rigorous process—looked at all of the, you know, whether they would return to the battlefield,” Toner said. “Recidivism, I guess, is the terminology used. Is it 100 percent foolproof? Have there been no cases or zero cases of this happening? Well, no. There have been cases of it, but very few.”

Most of them get a six-figure job from the ‘O’ administration.

that's as believable as saying they convert to Christianity after being released. Oh no, I just gave the obozoites another out to loose them all.

When it comes to disarming Americans; the LIB/PROG/TRANSI/COMMIE/SOCIALIST/DEMOCRATS/, including the State Department say that if disarming the people and denying us our GOD GIVEN RIGHTS, saves just one life it is worth it.
I say that HANGING EVERY GODDAMN TERRORIST at Gitmo and saving hundreds, if not thousands of lives is worth it.

Just the most important ones do and they contribute greatly to our demise and Obama’s pro-islam takeover agenda.

I hope like hell Trump gets in and we take the fight back to islam by merely keeping them in their litter boxes of nations and let them kill each other.

The Sunni and the Shia muslims HATE each other and have literally been fighting each other since Mad Mo died.
