Obama to Release One-Third of Gitmo Detainees – Despite 27% Recidivism Rate
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, September 23, 2012, 11:55 AM
Last September NATO troops killed Al-Qaeda leader and former Gitmo detainee in an overnight raid in eastern Afghanistan. Sabar Lal Melma, who was released from Guantanamo in 2007 after five years of detention, had been organizing attacks in eastern Kunar province and funding insurgent operations.
A recent report released by the House Armed Servicess subcommittee revealed that 27% of Gitmo detainees return to a life of terror after their release.
Despite these facts, the Obama Administration is reportedly planning on releasing one-third of th current Gitmo detainees.
Breitbart.com reported:
President Barack Obama is about to release or transfer 55 Gitmo prisoners, despite reports that the Libyan believed to be behind the killing of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens was a former Guantanamo inmate transferred to Libyan custody.
The large percentage of those scheduled to be released are Yemeni, according to a list made public by the Obama administration.
Obama stopped the release or transfer of Yemeni inmates in 2010, because the conditions in the country were viewed as too “unsettled” at the time.
A release or transfer of 55 inmates means Obama is moving out one third of the prisoners at Guantanamo. And while it doesn’t represent a shutdown of the facility, it’s certainly indicative of a move toward that end.
Here’s a list of former Gitmo detainees who allegedly returned to terrorism.

Well, if Obama is re-elected this feels oddly similar. Voted in and he comes back to destroy more of America.
Robert commented:
The Obama lapdog-media will help this along so don’t worry.
Francesca commented:
And his motive??? It’s time to get re-elected. So transparent, sp predictable. Wonder what is next?
Francesca commented:
SO predictable. Hmmm . . . I thought my iPad typing was getting better. Apparently not!

I guess our military boys will have more tangos to wack.

I cannot stand this enemy in Our House. These ‘detainees’ will be ‘heroes’ and continue on in their life of criminal activity, all for the political agenda of the enemy.
Nanna commented:
Why is Obama out front in the swing states this morning? I am asking in different sites, because I am totally without understanding as to how this can be, and how these people can be so ignorant. How can they vote for him? I just don’t understand!!!!!!!!
IOpian commented:
We should view it as an opportunity to kill them on the battlefield. Terminate the problem once and for all.
Candy commented:
Makes sense after a so-called former Gitmo detainee was responsible for the death of an ‘amb/gunrunner’ and our SEALs (why were they there again, if Brits with no ammo were defending them).
Osama couldn’t have done it better. Cloward-Piven, economic and other jihad, 1984/commies erasing/changing history, Islamists erasing/changing history.
Same beast, different name.
If only we had REAL Public access channels, where citizens could show docs, lay down the facts, talk to people on the streets, etc.. I’m still handing out pamphlets with info and links.
That and attempting to reason with them is the only way.
Chris commented:
He’s bound and determined to undermine what America is really about and even though his claim that the war in terror is over, he talks with terrorists, releases terrorists, gives money to terrorists and when they kill, rob, burn and everything under the sun, he calls it a natural protest. This man has got to go in November.
Ella commented:
He will pardon every last one of them when he leaves office in January.
American Woman commented:
Let’s be sure to slip them his new address when they leave.

People are paying attention to the ME blowing up. It’s overtaken the economy in a poll I recently saw. Obama must know he’s not going to get reelected and is doing as much as he can to help our enemies before he packs his bags. This is HUGE and should be shouted from the rooftops, with the reminder that this latest terrorist attack in Libya was planned by a GITMO-released prisoner.
If O’s not in as much trouble as most of us think (with the voters), then this news (hopefully it’ll be heard ALOT) should put the nail in his coffin. We have to make sure that Americans are aware of how our national security is in at least as much jeopardy as our economic stability. And on both counts, we should make it crystal clear that Obama has FAILED us all.
BarbaraS commented:
No. He will release some each month and close Gitmo in December if he loses. If (heaven help us)he should win he will sit on his hands as usual. If he loses he will do everything in his power to put the last nail in our coffin before 01/20/13. He is in league with these terrorists and the muslim brotherhood that fosters them. I am beginning to wonder if he is just a puppet being worked by the muslim brotherhood and/or a alliance with them and the communists of this world. One way or another he is a traitor to this country.
Robert commented:
Liberal guilt trip writ large.
Obama, make sure you apologize to each and every one of them.

There is no reason no to kill them except that “reporters” and a photographer are recording every move our soldiers make and if they should kill these people after they surrender, they will be brought up on charges as we have ssen in the past. This world is topsy-turvey. How the dims think we can fight a war being “fair” I don’t know. Next they will demand our enemies be as well armed as we are to be “fair”. Well, why not? They are already griping about so many more blacks than whites being incarcerated. What do they want? Quotas? Yeah, let’s put somone innocent of any wrong doing in prison to make up the numbers. Dims are dumb and really unreal.

He’ll release the rest of them after he loses in November.
