War On Terror: The U.S. has been releasing Gitmo terrorists only to see them rejoin the jihad and kill again. The blood of their victims is on the hands of the ACLU.
Kuwait wasted no time freeing al-Ajmi, part of the powerful al-Ajmi tribe of merchants, along with four other repatriated Gitmo detainees. Al-Ajmi, in turn, crossed the border into Iraq and helped al-Qaida terrorists there conduct a string of suicide attacks.
The U.S. military identified him as one of the suicide bombers in last month's deadly blasts in Mosul.
Al-Ajmi is one of at least 30 former Gitmo detainees who have resumed terrorist activities as part of the Taliban or al-Qaida, despite signing pledges at the time of release to renounce violence.
Taliban leader Abdullah Mehsud spent 25 months at Gitmo until his release from cruel American bondage in 2004. He insisted he was an innocent traveler when captured in Afghanistan, not a terrorist fighting with the Taliban. While out on his own recognizance, he returned to his native South Waziristan, where he rebuilt a Taliban cadre estimated at 5,000 foot soldiers.
Last year, Mehsud blew himself up with a grenade to avoid arrest during a raid. But his brother, Baitullah Mehsud, now commands 30,000 fighters who actively support al-Qaida in Pakistan. He also allegedly masterminded the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

OK,from this point forward we should shoot all prisoners taken on the battlefield.That would put an end to this problem.
This is why the US should have, from the very start of the WoT, engaged in “brainwashing”.
Not brainwashing as a means of political indoctrination, but to make those prisoners averse to committing aggressive acts of violence against others.
Again, not with the “A Clockwork Orange” model, in that they would still be at liberty to protect themselves against violent acts, just that they would no longer *want* to attack others.
This in no way violates their human rights, because there is no human right to attack and maim or murder others. And once the brainwashing was done, if there were no outstanding criminal charges, they could be returned to their people.
Other than physical actions, they should be less responsive to those who advocate violence. It is not necessary for them to reject even that, just that they would be unwilling to act on that provocation.
Because typical brainwashing has a rapid rate of decay before being overcome by the subject, a tiny, very long lasting chip would be implanted in their mastoid behind an ear. Periodically, it would give off subtle clicking sounds, that would signal the subject to reinforce his training.
Had the US done this at the onset of the WoT, by now there would be thousands of ex-terrorists sent back home. In turn, their lack of desire to commit terrorist acts would be noted by others, further dampening the overall enthusiasm to hurt and kill others.
“OK,from this point forward we should shoot all prisoners taken on the battlefield.That would put an end to this problem.”
During the VN conflict, there was a story frequently passed around.
A 100 strong American troop encounters 100 NVN soldiers: kills two and brings back 98 prisoners.
A 100 strong South Korean Marine troop encounters 100 NVN soldiers and brings back two prisoners.
I agree 100% with the ROK Marines actions. Take em out once but only once.
When are we going to learn that these vermin have NO qualms about lying? Shame and guilt for dishonesty is not in their culture -- it's going to kill us if we don't learn that!
No quarter for terrorists should be US policy.
I'm also thinking that the head of the "al-Ajmi tribe of merchants" end up on a spike somewhere outside of Kuwait city as a reminder to those fine people we liberated in 1991.
