Hundreds of released Guantanamo detainees return to killing Americans, report

U.S. intelligence documents show over 220 former detainees at the United States' Guantanamo detention camp have returned to terrorism and are killing Americans, according a recent news report.

Sixty-six percent of the 229 have not been recaptured and remain at large, according to a New York Post story published this weekend, based on a recent intelligence report and other government documents.

The findings come as President Biden releases more of the terror suspects from the U.S. military facility in Cuba, after they were detained in connection with the 9/11 terror attacks.

Shortly after taking office, Biden reversed President Trump’s executive order to keep open the facility, where some of the most potentially dangerous detainees remain.

Last month, the president freed his first prisoner, accused terrorist Abdul Latif Nasser, leaving the number of remaining detainees at 39, according to The Post.

Ten others have been cleared for release, including some of Osama bin Laden’s bodyguards and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s safe house operator, according to parole board documents reviewed by the news outlet.

Other detainees have appealed to the Biden administration through pro-bono lawyers for their release and a dozen other inmates are scheduled for parole hearings this year, documents show.

U.S. intelligence agencies say one-in-three released detainees have gone back to fighting against America and some have killed more Americans.

"Based on trends identified during the past 17 years, we assess that some detainees currently at GTMO will seek to re-engage in terrorist or insurgent activities after they are transferred," warned a recent U.S. intelligence report, The Post also reports.

According to the December 2020 declassified report by the Office of National Intelligence, the 229 of the 729 detainees released from the facility have reengaged in terrorist activities.

Some of the repeat offenders have since died or been recaptured, but 151 – or 66% – are still at large, document reportedly show.

At least 12 released detainees reportedly have launched attacks on U.S. forces in Afghanistan and killed about a half-dozen American soldiers and civilians, with the exact figure remaining classified.

Classified to prevent the Politburo from being embarrassed and for no other reason.

If anyone can be blamed for putting these guys in a 20 year deep freeze for later use, it was Bush.

A lot of our current problems can be laid in his lap.

..........................................
In any truly civilized country this would never happen because these “detainees” would have been summarily executed within hours of being found guilty.

"We have imbeciles running US “intelligence".

You know, that's one thing I believe we get totally wrong.. I mean, thinking these people are fools, idiots and the like.. These people are wise, cunning and highly educated.. John Brennan and the SOB that named him as head of the CIA would be a good example. There are many others under O'Biden, I'm sure you could name them.. What their doing to our nation their doing with purpose, willfully, with the malice of forethought..

I believe there are lots of folks who work in our government that have absolutely no allegiance to our country.. If we don't wake up and start seeking these "saboteurs" out we're going to lose it all... :(
