If he actually “informed against senior al Qaeda leaders” and is correct in thinking that persons sympathetic to al Qaeda know about it, he’s a heck of a lot safer IN Guantanamo than out of it.

I suppose the people that are really threatened don’t need to know why he has been released.

Thanks Judge.
