You may be right, but I'm not certain the release can be blamed on President Bush.
For one thing, the US turned these guys over into custody of the Saudis. Now whatever you think of the Saudis (and I don't trust them one bit), the royal family there has as much to fear from jihadists as we do.
So it wouldn't make sense for Saudis to release their own known enemies.
Nor are Saudis known for giving jihadis the kid glove treatment.
Aren't they better known for what they're willing to do in "rendition"? This "art therapy" program (if that report turns out to be real) might indicate there was little evidence against these perps at the time they were relased.
little evidence against the perps except they were captured on a battlefield in a war......
