What could possibly go wrong? “Canadian judge orders release of ex-Guantanamo detainee who killed GI,” by Charmaine Noronha, Associated Press, April 24, 2015: TORONTO — A Canadian judge on Friday ordered the release of a former Guantanamo Bay inmate while he appeals his conviction in a Washington court for war crimes, including killing a U.S. […]
Over 100 freed Gitmo detainees have returned to jihad
This is not surprising, since absolutely nothing was done at Guantanamo to disabuse these men of the beliefs that led them to wage jihad in the first place. Any such action would have been “Islamophobic.” And so the Qur’an, the book that inspired the actions that landed them in Guantanamo in the first place, is […]
Gitmo detainee swapped for Bergdahl returns to jihad
We warned that this would happen. But everyone knew it was “Islamophobic” to think such a thing. Anyway, now we have a man who is probably going to be tried for desertion in exchange for at least one jihadist who will try to kill more Americans. And the other four will probably also rejoin the […]
Freed Gitmo detainee opens Islamic State base in Afghanistan
And Obama just keeps freeing more. These men are seasoned, trained, battle-hardened jihadis. What are they going to do, open a deli? “Freed Gitmo Captive Opens ISIS Base in Afghanistan,” Judicial Watch, January 15, 2015: As President Obama frees droves of terrorists—including five Yemenis this week—from the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo news reports confirm […]
Obama releases five more Gitmo detainees
It’s OK. One of them is not a “veteran terrorist”; he’s just “a chef who was trying to find a better life.” “What’s good in this place?” “Try the IED’s, sir. They’re to die for.” “Five Guantanamo prisoners held for a dozen years are released and resettled in Kazakhstan,” by Dan Bloom, Daily Mail, December […]
US government offering $5M reward for jihadi freed from Gitmo
Those who advocate for the closing of Guantanamo have never dealt with the problem of recidivism. So many former Gitmo inmates have returned to the jihad. More will join them. More non-Muslims will be killed. Does this matter to “human rights campaigners”? Note also that al-Rubaysh is a graduate of the Saudi program to “rehabilitate” […]
Obama releases four more jihadis from Guantanamo, returns them to Afghanistan
“The Obama administration has released the four on the basis that charges cannot be brought against them and that it is possible to reintegrate the individuals back into society following the detention.” What will they do? Buy farms? Open restaurants? Isn’t it more likely that they will return to the trade they know — jihad? […]
Qatar broke promise with US, allowed Gitmo detainee to leave the country
Relying on allies that aren’t allies is yet another consequence of the Washington establishment’s determined refusal to face the realities of the jihad, and to formulate policy based on those realities. “Qatar ‘broke promise to US over Guantanamo detainee,’” by David Blair, the Telegraph, December 12, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann): Qatar broke an “explicit” promise […]
20 to 30 former Guantanamo detainees suspected of joining the Islamic State, other jihad groups
This is not surprising, since absolutely nothing was done at Guantanamo to disabuse these men of the beliefs that led them to wage jihad in the first place. Any such action would have been “Islamophobic.” “Sources: Former Guantanamo detainees suspected of joining ISIS, other groups in Syria,” by Justin Fishel and Jennifer Griffin, FoxNews.com, October […]
UK: Ex-Gitmo detainee and Leftist media darling Moazzam Begg charged with terrorism, attending Islamic State training camp
Thomas Joscelyn noted in the Weekly Standard in 2011: “Moazzam Begg and his organization, Cageprisoners, have proselytized on behalf of al Qaeda cleric Anwar al Awlaki and spread jihadist propaganda….Moazzam Begg’s own book confirms he is a jihadist….The Department of Justice’s investigation failed to substantiate Begg’s claims of torture, and found that his damning confession […]
