What could possibly go wrong? Well, a 2013 study found that 29% of released Gitmo detainees had returned to jihad. Among the Taliban leaders who triumphantly entered Kabul in August 2021 was at least one former Gitmo inmate. Will Majid Khan return to jihad? Why not? It’s what he knows. Of course he may choose a different path, but Biden’s handlers are releasing him without the slightest concern for the safety or well-being of Americans.
“In rare move, U.S. releases ‘high-value’ Guantánamo Bay prisoner,” by Missy Ryan, Washington Post, February 2, 2023:
A former al-Qaeda courier who endured dehumanizing treatment at CIA black sites before spending more than 15 years in Guantánamo Bay was released in Belize on Thursday, a milestone in President Biden’s push to close the high-profile prison but one that underscores he difficulties he will face in doing so.
The resettlement of Majid Khan, who struck a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors in 2012, represented the first time that one of the “high-value” prisoners sent from the secret CIA facilities to the military facility in Cuba in 2006 was freed, his attorneys said.
The nearly year-long delay in releasing Khan, whose 10-year sentence concluded in March, is evidence of the legal and political challenges that Biden must navigate in attempting to finally shut down the facility, which now holds 34 detainees but remains a potent symbol of American excesses in the wake of 9/11.
Free after two decades, Khan apologized for his past. The former Baltimore-area resident pleaded guilty a decade ago to taking part in al-Qaeda plots and later provided testimony in other terrorism cases.
“I have been given a second chance in life and I intend to make the most of it,” he said in a statement released by his attorneys at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and Jenner & Block.
The release caps a saga that began in 2003 when Khan, who was born in Saudi Arabia but later emigrated with his family to Maryland, was captured in Pakistan. He then endured beatings, sleep deprivation and other forms of torture at the hands of CIA interrogators at secret overseas prisons before being sent to Guantánamo.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Khan had honored his cooperation commitment. “We remain dedicated to a deliberate and thorough process, focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population,” she told reporters Thursday….

Will he return to Maryland?
Criminologists who know their field, will explain the repeat offender scenario to anyone who knows not how many criminals return to their “field” after being released.
mozlums are taught to commit crimes of violence, rape, murder, terrorism and are not *untaught* while in prison.
And it’s clear that missy and her bosses have sympathy for the terrorists…soon to be back among us.

29% ? C’mon,it’s probably closer to 100% or their intention to

Only one question:
Has Majid Khan abandoned islam?
OLD GUY says
Why Belize? I guess it won’t be too hard for him to get to America from there.

That dangerous jihadist of al Qaeda ,Majid Khan who is engaging in Taqyyia with his fake repentance and crocodile tears is now freed all the while the American patriots false arrested on January 6,2021 are still languishing in terrible inhuman conditions of the Biden regime as his political prisoners is a blatant and outright affront to justice and all that is fair good and right.
The tragedy might be that America has reached the end of her being a Republic. With the now corrupted FBI with its abuse of its power as observed that it took a sinister part in the insidious set up against the patriots on January 6, 2021 and the later FBI harassment of American Patriots who attended that January 6th rally and the Biden gulag for tyrant Joe’s political prisoners from the day of 1/6/22 and later the FBI raid invasion of residents of Donald Trump, along which many awful other event sines that have occurred since Biden took Office on 1/20/21 those are omens that are overwhelming that United States is come to the very end of her Republic. This is indeed, very tragic and sad.
With the infected and thoroughly infiltrated leftist FBI and considering all the terrible harm Joe Biden has done to the United States is still doing and will continue to do is so very horrendously terrible that the damage might be irreversible . I really hope I’m wrong.
President impostor Joe Biden is leading America to ruin. The terrible harm that Biden is doing to the USA might even be irreversible. As Abraham Lincoln had said, “You can’t unscramble eggs.”
Walter Sieruk says
To free that al Qaeda jihadist and not release from false arrest and political imprisonment of the American patriots who are the victims of that leftist set up on January 6, 2021 is a tragic and terrible reminder of the verse from the Bible which reads “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent – the Lord detests them both.” Proverbs 17:15.
