Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, ABC News is reporting, quoting American officials and citing Department of Defense documents.

Hey,...he really did speak...today...the first work day after the Friday event...Transcript:

Transcript of Obama remarks on airline security and terror watch lists ( Monday Dec 28,2009?)

["The fainthearts at DU are already blaming Bush."]

Of course they are. The same idiots who were screaming for their release, closure of the prison and granting constitutional rights for the terrorist scum for the better part of eight years are suddenly hardliners.

They're imbiciles who couldn't be trusted to properly butter toast.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

IF this story is true, the jihad freaks were released (probably in handcuffs) into SAUDI custody. Hence, it would be a SAUDI problem.(not Bush's fault)

And, I'm sure that Bush's Saudi "friends" gave him their solemn word that the perps would be handled.

[floriduh voter]

ditto.

Steyn is awesome.

Well..take a look at this:

Obama Sends Terrorists to Yemen for Training

And Obama just sent them....LOL!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Well, Bush was the one who let them go after the Saudis promised him that they would “rehabilitate” them.

[Velveeta]

We are so screwed.

[Jet Jaguar]

Ping, in case you missed it.

[Velveeta]

Bush Admin was under pressure from the left - attorneys and Human Rights Watch.

[Nachum]

Thanks, Jet Jaguar. Not sure if it was posted. I will put it up.

The list, ping

[tina07]

yes, either of your release methods are acceptable.

[spodefly]

Wow. It is simultaneously both naive and arrogant to think that “art therapy” will heal, cure, or otherwise rehabilitate someone who is inclined to mass murder with a bomb strapped to themselves.

The federal government fails at everything it tries.

That is pretty much the sum of it at this point in time ...

[Soul of the South]

Bush did call Islam the “religion of peace”. Perhaps he should have also called it the “religion of art.”

[livius]

I was just thinking of our Bermuda boys today. I believe they were also being sent to “art therapy.” Or maybe it was “music therapy.”

Actually, since Islam frowns on both music and art, maybe the therapists just gave up and sent them directly to Yemen.

[Soul of the South]

His administration also refuses freedom of information requests regarding the number of released Gitmo prisoners who have returned to terrorism. The number is alleged by some Congressmen to be outrageous.

What happened to liberals protecting the right of the people to know?

[Doohickey]

So, by inference, Bush’s fault. Nice try, MSM.

[left that other site]

Well....I do art and music therapy.

BUT NOT WITH TERRORISTS FOR GOODNESS SAKES!

I never heard anything so frackin stoopid in my entire life!

[americanophile]

You know, you just really couldn’t could you? Unreal.
