Send him to live with Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid.
He'll be out within a week.
Maybe not on Sept 12, 2001, but when I spent a year there, I realized that the only way sh*theads were going to be released was political.
We sent lots of guys home and we sat a scratched our heads and said, why?
Politics, my friend, politics.
61 out of about 600 have returned to the fight. That is a 10% rate, but hey, it’s ok...they really love us.
The only MF’s they got left are the worst of the worst. They are not the 10% who will conduct jihad, the are the 100% who will.
I’m personally waiting for the guy who told me when he got out he was going to look me up on the internet and kill my family.
I got a .45 to assist him in his endeavor.

SANAA (Reuters) - Yemen has freed Osama bin Laden’s former
driver after he served out his prison term following his
return home from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in November, his lawyer said on Sunday.
“Salim Hamdan was released on Thursday to live with his
family in Sanaa,” attorney Khaled al-Ansi told Reuters.
He said Hamdan had signed a pledge not to commit any
violent acts.

Brilliant! He will go back to Bid Laden just like a homing pigeon. A bunker buster bomb will shortly follow thereafter.
You Yanks have the most brilliant armed forces in the world!
I hope someone had the foresight to stick some plutonium under his cot the last few weeks.
should say: HEADED HOME IN A BODY BAG.
Hopefully they planted a chip in him. He’s headed back to his pals.
