Washington Post opinion writer Marc A. Theissen has published a list of the Taliban leaders President Obama is reportedly planning to release from Guantanamo Bay detention center — and their wrap sheets just might (or not) shock you.
The Obama administration is allegedly considering the release of these senior Taliban leaders as part of a deal to bring the militant Islamist group to engage in peace talks. According to Theissen, if Obama does in fact proceed with the release, he will do “tremendous harm” to U.S. national security “and to his prospects for reelection this fall.”
Theissen writes:
To understand why, consider the individuals White House is considering setting free. Last year WikiLeaks released a trove of documents it dubbed the “Gitmo Files” with assessments of hundreds of Guantanamo detainees — including the five Taliban leaders reportedly under consideration for release.
The following is the U.S. military’s assessment of the detainees:
Mullah Mohammed Fazl, deputy defense minister. Fazl is “wanted by the UN for possible war crimes while serving as a Taliban Army Chief of Staff and … was implicated in the murder of thousands of Shiites in northern Afghanistan during the Taliban reign.” He has “operational associations with significant al-Qaida and other extremist personnel,” was “involved in Taliban narcotics trafficking,” and is so senior in the Taliban hierarchy that he once threatened the Taliban’s supreme leader, Mullah Omar. Military officials assess that Fazl wields “considerable influence throughout the northern region of Afghanistan and his influence continued even after his capture” adding, “If released, [Fazl] would likely rejoin the Taliban and establish ties with anti-Coalition militias (ACM) participating in hostilities against US and Coalition forces in Afghanistan.”

Treason. PERIOD.
After reading this, there is NOBODY I wouldn’t vote for over obastard!
and the congresscritters we support with our tax dollars will sit idly by and pick their teeth.

That was Bammy’s goal all along.
“and the congresscritters we support with our tax dollars will sit idly by and pick their teeth.”
I hope the following correction of a minor typo I noticed in the above meets with your approval
“and the congresscritters we support with our tax dollars will sit idly by and pick our pockets.
and the congresscritters we support with our tax dollars will sit idly by and pick their teeth.
I believe they’ve been threatened and won’t cross the line.
What other explanation is there????????????
This is just the trial balloon. Barry will release half of them and then give us a lecture about how much safer it makes us.
the prisoners have become the biggest impediment to closing the place, so he’s fixing the problem. it will be a cinch to close once it’s empty.
Wrong. He is emptying Gitmo so he can put those of us who are on his enemies list in there without due process of law according to the treacherous law voted upon by our xxxxxxx congressmen who are stupid and blind.
bflr
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
He is just opening up space for NRA supporters and outspoken anti islamic Americans. Nothing more than Obama’s war on America.
THAT has crossed my mind as well.
my thoughts as well. Next up, neighborhood block committees tasked with looking for “domestic terrorists”. Folks with McCain/Palin stickers, are employed in the private sector, go to church, have at least one SUV..”
