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.

[Selene]

At least two are believed to have died in fighting in Afghanistan, and a third was recaptured during a raid of a suspected training camp in Afghanistan.

One released detainee killed a judge leaving a mosque in Afghanistan, Plexico said.

Abdullah Mehsud... oversaw the recent kidnapping of two Chinese engineers, one of whom was killed.

Afghan leaders said they believed he was leading Taliban forces in the southern province.

In Denmark, Slimane Hadj Abderrahmane... said he would go to Chechnya to fight with rebels there against Russia.

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

Now...with that as a backdrop, and the libs continually screeching about the inhuman treatment at Gitmo...let's imagine what's likely to happen to the current prisoner population there under Kerry if he was elected.

> at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have returned to terrorism ...

If the NYT even covers this, I fully expect them to spin
it as due to the "abuse" they suffered in custody.

Each one released AND given one million dollars each for their "pain and suffering".

<sarcasm>You mean they broke their promise of peace? I'm shocked I tell you, just shocked! What did we do wrong? We must establish a dialog with these misunderstood people and examine what it is that we're doing to make them hate us so much.</sarcasm>

they should have been tried by military tribunals and sentenced.

God we're chumps.
Our Grandparents generation would have never been so foolish.

"freedom by signing pledges to renounce violence"

Sounds like a law Kerry would introduce to help the terrorists.

[Stellar Dendrite]

"let's imagine what's likely to happen to the current prisoner population there under Kerry if he was elected."

Yes. The liberal argument to criminals is that "Locking them up only makes them more angry, so they should be free".
These cultural marxists are very dangerous, one can see the parallels between their rhetoric on that issue and fighting the WOT.

I do hope all these released terrorists have GPS injected somewhere in their bodies.

Why weren't they killed when we had them in custody?

[scottybk]

Rumor has it that almost all of the detainees have requested absentee ballots from South Dakota!

[spodefly]

There was an article on FR a few weeks ago where on of the former detainees returned to Denmark and made threats against government officials in Denmark. Unfortunately the thread was pulled because 'barlowmaker' showed up, started his usual flamethrowing, and the entire thread was pulled.

[broadsword]

The vermin should have been exterminated.

One of the profs at my law school was down in Gitmo last weekend trying to win the release of a Pakistanian prisoner. You should hear him weep about the Gitmo camp- he says "it's just so depressing to see all these innocent people, etc," like he'd just returned from a children's leukemia hospital, instead of a prison for American-hating thug terrorists.
You have no idea how sick and dimented the American left really is. I told this prof. that he'll be even more depressed when a 20 foot crater is blasted into what used to be Midtown Manhattan by these "peaceful detainees." The american left should be bunking next to these Islamofacists in Gitmo, IMHO.

"Why weren't they killed when we had them in custody?"

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

NY Times: Detainees at Guantanamo stripped, shackled
Coercion and abusive treatment described by former official at prison:

Dear CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and NBC

My personal views are that these B#sta#ds should be eliminated from ever walking in freedom on the face of this earth. These people have no redeemable value to any society.
The New York Times has become the Scum Bag of a newspaper. There is already enough proof that once released these terrorist go back to killing Men, Women and innocent babies.
The survival of this country and liberty in the world depend on a strong America. The Times seems to think that others are more important than the readers of it's RAG newspaper. Now, is not the time for continued Yellow Journalism.
Why isn't the New York Times more indignant about the Oil For Food scandal that is costing American lives in Iraq.

LOL! Good one:)

[freakboy]

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)
