Without an official announcement or any publicity, the Obama administration released five members of the Taliban from Gitmo in order to open peace talks in Afghanistan.
"a top U.S. official said the prisoners were released under the condition that they will not engage in any violent activity."
The terror activity of those released is not in question. Rather, their release is intended as a gesture to get peace talks rolling between the U.S., Afghanistan, and the Taliban.
Although this release is a stark departure from the standing U.S. policy of zero tolerance [of] negotiations with terrorists and releasing of prisoners.
One thing is for certain--the more prisoners Obama can release from Gitmo in a piecemeal fashion the quicker he can justify asking Congress to cut off funding for the prison altogether.

I don’t often agree with releasing terrorists.
But when I do...I want them to visit 1600 Pennslyvania Ave.

I say realease all 200 or so of them in a HALO (high altitude low open) jump without chutes over the Mideast country of their choice. Then close Gitmo because we won’t be taking any more prisoners.

Your wish has already been granted by the Immaculated Won, as the White House guest book will show. Some were even invited to the White House dinner celebrating the end of Ramalamadingdong.

Let me guess...Sunnis?Silly me. It never occurred to me to look up what the predominant Islamic sect was in Kenya and Indonesia.
Surprise, surprise. It's Sunni. Yet another way to guess which way the wind blows in the White House and the State Department. And the DOD. And the IRS. And NSA. And the EPA. And ...

Muslims lie when it is in their interest to do so and Allah will not hold them accountable for lying when it is beneficial to the cause of Islam. They can lie without any guilt or fear of accountability or retribution. A lie in the defense of Islam is approved even applauded in their holy books.
Muslims are permitted to lie: (1) to save their lives, (2) to reconcile a husband and wife, (3) to persuade a woman into a bedroom and (4) to facilitate one on his journey. Muslims are even permitted to disavow Islam and Mohammed if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. Muslims will tell you that concealment of a truth is not an abandonment of that truth if it benefits Islam.
