I hear you. I just ran across this report that we initially heard about in 2006. Reading it made me gasp out loud again:

“Wouldn’t You Like to Know
The ‘most transparent administration in history’ stonewalls.”

BY STEPHEN F. HAYES
March 15, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 25

SNIPPET: “So, too, are thousands of pages of documents on the Guantánamo detainees the Obama administration has transferred or released over the past 14 months. When Obama came to office there were approximately 242 detainees remaining at Guantánamo. With a few exceptions, these individuals were still at Gitmo for a very good reason: They were among the most dangerous of the jihadists captured by the United States since September 11, 2001.

There are now 188 detainees at Guantánamo. Who are the 54 detainees no longer there?”

SNIPPET: “Consider the case of Abdullahi Sudi Arale, who was sent to Guantánamo Bay on June 6, 2007.

The Pentagon certainly considered him a highly dangerous terrorist at that time: “Abdullahi Sudi Arale is suspected of being a member of the al Qaeda terrorist network in East Africa, serving as a courier between East Africa Al Qaeda (EAAQ) and Al Qaeda in Pakistan. Since his return from Pakistan to Somalia in September 2006, he has held a leadership role in the EAAQ-affiliated Somali Council of Islamic Courts (CIC).” The Pentagon noted that there was “significant information available” to demonstrate Arale’s assistance to terrorists “in acquiring weapons and explosives” and his role in “facilitat[ing] terrorist travel by providing false documents” for al Qaeda and other terrorists.

Arale was released from Gitmo on December 19, 2009. The good news, to the extent that there is any, is that the Obama administration actually announced that they were transferring Arale. The bad news is that they did so without any explanation of their decision. And the really bad news is that the place they said they were transferring him to—“Somali-land”—does not actually exist. Neither the United States nor any other country recognizes the government of Somaliland—which declared itself independent of Somalia in 1991.

So where was Arale sent? Who is responsible for keeping track of him? Where is he now? And why did the Obama administration come to a conclusion about his activities that was so at odds with the views of the U.S. military officials who originally detained him and sent him to Guantánamo Bay? There are, yet again, no answers to crucial questions.”

Thanks for the ping, granny. I just got into your link (way back at post #26) to-a-link, to-another-link, etc., etc.

You know how that goes. I’ll try to catch up on more recent posts in this thread tomorrow.

Thanks WCG. I have to say that I am partial to this presentation of the TM content. :)

W00T! Got rope???

Reports are they got Adam FatGoatBoy Gadahn!!!
I about drove off the road. Had to pull over to put this on the TC thread.

Can’t wait for all the links on this one!!!

[Donna Lee Nardo]

I am hopeful too, Vel. But this could be psych-ops to smoke him out.

[Velveeta]

Holding my breath that the reports are accurate.
I hadn’t realized Gadahn released a tape just today:
****

Gadahn was likely detained in the Sohrab Goth neighborhood in Karachi, Rafiq said. “Sohrab Goth is a major Pashtun area in northern Karachi,” he said. “Many Mehsud tribesmen live there.”

The reported capture of Gadahn comes the same day as As Sahab, al Qaeda’s propaganda arm, released a video of him praising Major Nidal Hasan, the Muslim US Army officer who murdered 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas on Nov. 5, 2009.

“Brother Nidal is the ideal role model for every repentant Muslim in the armies of the unbelievers and apostate regimes,” Gadahn said, according to a partial translation provided by CTV.

“Nidal Hasan is a pioneer, a trailblazer and a role-model who has opened a door, lit a path and shown the way forward for every Muslim who finds himself among the unbelievers,” Gadahn continued.

Gadahn also called for additional attacks in the US, mirroring the tactics used by Hassan, but said the attacks should not be limited to US military targets.......

Sequent Energy President Doug Schantz Is Missing, Company Says
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aUXv77mj50bo

Police reviewing surveillance video from the area have pegged Schantz as leaving Razzoo Bar and Patio about 2 a.m. Friday, New Orleans Police Assistant Superintendent Marlon Defillo said during a news conference Saturday night.

Colleagues recall seeing Schantz, president of Sequent Energy Management, between 1 and 2 a.m. at a bar in the 500 block of Bourbon Street, Defillo said. He was wearing a jacket and tie.

Several of those colleagues, who had since flown back to Houston, returned to New Orleans on Saturday with plans to fan out across the French Quarter to distribute fliers seeking information about Schantz’s whereabouts.

“They had shots of him leaving the place he was at and then the next clip shows a taxi pull away, and he’s not on the street after that,”

So where was Arale sent? Who is responsible for keeping track of him? Where is he now?

There are so many questions, all without answers that one could go nuts waiting for an answer.

This all gets crazier by the minute, difficult for me to accept that his is America.

“He was called Dr Louay and when the terrorists had failed to kill a policeman or a soldier he would finish them off,” Colonel Yadgar Shukir Abdullah Jaff, a senior Kirkuk police chief, told The Independent. “He gave them a high dosage of a medicine which increased their bleeding so they died from loss of blood.”<<<
