"Inside the Gitmo Task Force's Final Report"

SNIPPET: "President Obama's own task force concluded that 95 percent of the Gitmo detainees had at least some connection to the terror network."

SNIPPET: "On January 22, President Obama’s Guantanamo Review Task Force completed its final report, which outlined the administration’s plan for the remaining detainees held at Guantanamo. The Task Force was set up as part of the president’s effort to close Gitmo.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD has obtained a copy of the report, as well as Attorney General Eric Holder’s transmittal memorandum. As explained below, the Task Force concluded that 95 percent of the detainees held at Gitmo, as of January 2009, had at least some noteworthy connection to the terrorist network.

The Task Force also concluded that the 240 detainees subject to its review, and held at Gitmo on President Obama’s first day in office, should be treated as follows:

126 of the detainees were approved for transfer to either their home nations or third countries. 59 of the 126 detainees had previously been approved for transfer by the Bush administration. As of the date the report was finalized, January 22, 44 of the 126 detainees had already been transferred. Several more detainees have been transferred since then.

36 detainees were referred for active prosecutions, either by a federal court or military commission. Initially, the Task Force recommended 44 detainees be prosecuted, but 8 were taken off the prosecution list for various reasons. 1 of those 8 was granted his habeas corpus petition by a District Court Judge.

48 detainees will be held indefinitely under Obama’s plan. These detainees “were determined to be too dangerous to transfer but not feasible for prosecution.”"

It appears that the 0bama Regime is turning over a large number to third party countries, most of which will either turn them loose or put them in “rehabilitation classes”, where they can take “Bomb Making 101”.

Just spent the better part of an hour trying to dig up a link to any recording of Flip Wilson’s “Gorilla” routine. It was on the record “The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress”, and apparently has not been brought into the digital world, most likely because it is much, much too true.

Amazing how quiet the MSM is about GITMO now that their beloved is in the Whitehouse. The bias is so thick you could cut it with a knife, but it’s an “Emporer with no Clothes” situation, for sure.
