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 wouldnt 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 its a very rigorous processlooked 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.

I don’t agree with their characterization that only a few return to terrorist. But if only one of them returned to terrorism that is a risk we can not afford since one terrorist can inflict a lot of damage.
Oh, so the Demagogues think it’s just fine if they release ***some*** dedicated, experienced, active terrorists. So long as “recidivism” isn’t 100% we should be happy about all the innocent human beings who will be slaughtered under this evil policy????
Hang this policy around Shrillary’s ugly neck and drive her straight out of the country!! She should be required to live out her days in one of the Middle East/North African hellholes she has helped to screw up.
They are attending Marie Harf-Arse's job training seminars.
One is sufficient.
Everybody knows they are lying.
They don’t know about most of them and the ones we do know about are back doing jihad.
Just one is too many.
They use the same vetting process that they use to screen Syrian “refugees” That is they make them sign a paper saying that they won’t commit acts of terrorism. And get it notarized!
If THAT isn’t enough to satisfy you, then you are just an Islamophobic bigot.
yea and few illegals who have been arrested and deported come back and get arrested again od go dui and kill americans..all ok till it happens to you according to the bleeding hearts..
Everyone believes the marshmallow major quota baby state department morons. /s
I saw a graphic today on Fox that showed so far 30% have that they know of.
“If we can save just one child from a terror attack by a released GITMO detainee, should we keep them all locked up till they die of old age?”
But how many freed go to sharia? Terrorism to the regime is us having guns and voting for Trump.
The Liberal argument to justify any sort of tyranny...
Conclusion: Liberals Hate Children MORE than they love Terorists.
Yeah... And very few mulsim refugees turn out to be terrorists. So open the flood gates.
I wonder how much money Obama sent to the UAE to get them to take these Jihadies? That way, Obama can add insult to injury and make US taxpayers not only fund their release, but send our money along to be used to spread terrorism some more.
helm or stern...or both?
Uh-huh, riiiight.
Well, when you release 15, very few could mean as little as 3....or 20%.
What the hell? They are using the words of “Newman”?
I think he said rarely but it still applies.
It’s just so reassuring.
