WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon says more of the terror suspects released from the Guantanamo Bay prison are returning to the fight.

Defense Department press secretary Geoff Morrell says a new report shows the recidivism rate among former suspects released from the prison in Cuba continues its upward trend. He did not release the figures, but said officials are working to declassify the latest report so the rate can be made public.

Time to dig up the old “revolving door” campaign ad used by Bush in 88. This time they should be wearing turbans. ;-)

The rate of those returning to militancy was first reported to be 11 percent. In April it was 14 percent.

And that is just the number for the ones that are captured again or killed!

We are going to need to hold those who grant approval for these terrorists release responsible for their actions.

***Morrell says he believes the numbers are rising because the majority of prisoners have been released and officials are down to the most difficult cases.***

What a load of crap. The numbers are up because we have chicken-crap leaders in the White House who just want to let them go to appease their Muslim brothers.

I kid you not, the argument made to me by a liberal friend was “we detained and tortured these innocent people, then sent them to Gitmo for years. Of course they’re now fighting us when they get released.”

I know you’re not kidding. There are still a lot of people out there who think that way. “We haven’t given Obama a fair chance yet...it took years to make the mess he inherited...” Sheesh.

[pfflier]

Well if they are “returning to the fight” I guess they weren’t suspects after all. They are confirmed terrorists.
