As many as 20 to 30 former Guantanamo Bay detainees released within the last two to three years are suspected by intelligence and Defense officials of having joined forces with the Islamic State and other militant groups inside Syria, Fox News has learned.
The development has cemented fears that the U.S. military would once again encounter militants taken off the battlefield.
The intelligence offers a mixed picture, and officials say the figures are not exact. But they are certain at least some of the released detainees are fighting with the Islamic State, or ISIS, on the ground inside Syria. Others are believed to be supporting Al Qaeda or the affiliated al-Nusra Front in Syria.

Could that be the source of ISIS excellent media outreach and PR campaign? Guantanomo taught them well.

“The Mob” is probably the last organization. other than these troglodytes in the Mid East that feel the only good reason for a POW is for propaganda purposes, no sense housing, feeding or caring for (no matter how primitive) battlefield prisoners and even ‘recently’ the Japanese seemed to think that anyone that surrendered on the battlefield wasn’t worth holding onto SO the ‘only’ solution was to make sure they wouldn’t be showing up on the ‘other side of the line’ in a short.
DEAD ‘enemy’ do not come back to kill you

“Suspected”, my butt. Obama knew exactly what would happen and I imagine he even threw in a few “incentives” to maime, rape and murder like the good muslim he is.

Hopefully the good news from now on, there will not be any ISIS prisoners, just dead ISIS serial killers.

Is that not why the First Moslem released them?
Same reason he fired America's best from the military and LEO.
