We learn this a day after Obama signs an executive order that supposedly closes Guantánamo - 1 year from now, following some plan that he either hasn't figured out yet or won't tell us (you know because the Obama admin. is all about transparency.) I mean, even without these stories of detainees returning to terror, I still don't understand how closing Gitmo is supposed to be the "right thing to do." I guess that Obama is counting on us being safer on the account of other European countries liking us better. I find it ironic that the counties that are acting all pissy about Guantánamo Bay, are the same countries that refuse to take them in as prisoners. I have an idea, maybe they can be let go on a work-release program located in, say, the Hyde Park neighborhood on Chicago's south side. Hey, they might even become exemplary role models, and maybe even get some grant money to fund some new programs.

You can't be too hard on Obama. After all, it was Bush who released this guy in the first place.
Bush probably, "looked him in the eye, and got a sense of his soul." <---another Putin reference for you.
