WASHINGTON - Despite gaining their freedom by signing pledges to renounce violence, at least seven former prisoners of the United States at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have returned to terrorism, at times with deadly consequences.

No doubt liberals will claim that they weren't terrorist until we detained them, causing them to become so (much like they are claiming now with Iraq)

[Jim Noble]

Too many people out there like Moosey Moore who say - "There is no terrorists threat."

Is it your view that President Bush does not do the right thing because he is afraid of offending Michael Moore?

Unfortunately the thread was pulled because 'barlowmaker' showed up,

Here is the article The Copenhagen Post

Danish politicians have sharply condemned this weekend's remarks by former Guantanamo prisoner Slimane Hadk Abderrahmane. In a TV2 interview aired on Saturday evening, Abderrahmane declared that Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Defense Minister Søren Gade, and Danish soldiers were legitimate targets for Islamic warriors.

Abderrahmane clarified his remarks on Sunday, stating that Denmark's involvement in the Iraq war made this country's political leaders and active-duty soldiers legitimate targets for holy war, because Denmark is at war with an Islamic state and, by extension, with Islam itself. The 31-year-old devout Muslim said he had no intention of attacking Danish politicians himself.

"The Prime Minister can rest easy, as far as I am concerned," Abderrahmane said on Sunday, citing an agreement he was forced to sign with the Danish Security Intelligence Service (PET) swearing not to engage in jihad ever again.

Nonetheless - and although Abderrahmane cannot be legally indicted for his remarks - politicians have responded with shock and disgust at the Dane's remarks.

"These comments are grotesque, and I can better and better understand why the Americans jailed him. It's pure terrorism, which only serves to expose him as a simple-minded, but lethal terrorist trained in the practice of killing innocent people," said Conservative Party defense spokesman Helge Adam Møller.

What is your theory about why the above slime has influence with the administration?

"Despite gaining their freedom by signing pledges to renounce violence, at least seven former prisoners of the United States at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have returned to terrorism, at times with deadly consequences."

I guess we can thank the idiot socialist media and the communist ACLU pigs for the favor, huh?

Body of Chinese hostage killed in Pak returned

Oct 17, 2004 07:14:00 AM

Beijing, Oct 17 (PTI) The body of Wang Peng, one of the two Chinese hostages killed in Pakistan, returned to Jinan, capital city of east China's Shandong Province late last night on board a special Pakistani military aircraft. Wang Peng, an engineer, was killed in a military operation launched by Pakistan forces Thursday to free the two Chinese hostages. Wang Ende, the rescued hostage, had returned to Beijing on Friday night.

On behalf of the Chinese government, Vice Governor of Shandong Xie Yutang extended condolence to Wang Peng and expressed sympathy for his family and for Wang Ende.

The Chinese side strongly condemned the terrorist act to kidnap hostages, Xie said, noting that governments and peoples of China and Pakistan will continue to make efforts for promoting friendly and cooperative ties between the two sides.

Pakistani ambassador to China, Riaz Mohammad Khan extended grief from the Pakistani government and people, saying that it is the crime of terrorism that caused this tragedy, Xinhua news agency reported.

The Pakistani government will ensure the security of Chinese friends there within capacity, he said.

Gunmen kidnapped Wang Ende and Wang Peng, the engineers working on a water dam and a canal in the region for the China National Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Group Corporation, on October 9 near Jandala in Pakistan's restive South Waziristan Tribal Agency bordering Afghanistan.

In order to deal with the aftermath of the kidnapping issue, the Chinese side had dispatched 'working teams' to Pakistan. PTI

Gee...what a stunning development- whodathunk it?

Really, especially when they put their John Hancock down on paper.

Who are the morons dreaming this crap up? Having terrorists sign pledges? Come on--who is running the show, Captain Kangaroo?

"What is your theory about why the above slime has influence with the administration?"

That is a good question. But first I'd like to hear your opinion on why these animals were released

What do they have to do with the administration of justice at Gitmo?
