More freed Guantanamo detainees return to terrorism.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Eleven Saudis who were released from Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and then passed through a Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists are now believed to have fled the country and joined terrorist groups abroad, Saudi officials said Tuesday.

The 11 former detainees include two who were already identified last month as members of a Yemeni terrorist group. Their names were on a list of 85 wanted terrorism suspects made public Tuesday by the Saudi Interior Ministry.

The announcement further underscored the difficulties faced by the Obama administration as it prepares to close the Guantánamo detention center. All told, 14 Saudis now appear to have rejoined terrorist groups after their return from Guantánamo, including the 11 living abroad and 3 who were rearrested in Saudi Arabia after their return.

And so suddenly Obama turns into an apologist. But why shouldn't he...he's been in bed with them for months. How does Iran respond? They call him weak and show him how weak he is. Meanwhile Iran continues more of the same.
 
i think obama has made the right choice on this ...

we were getting pulled down world wide in the public opinion polls on both of these issues ... now the shoe is on the other foot so to speak ...

We've very publicly reached out our hand to IRAN to talk .... if they don't want to talk then i say fine ... let them have their little tempe tantrum for the entire world to see .... at least this way if we have to wipe them off the face of the earth we can at least say "we tried "

as far as gitmo goes , the jihaadists were able to use it against us to recruit ... bla bla bla evil americans etc ... now with us willing to talk to iran and closing down gitmo , there's less they can put in their recruitment pamphlet ...

sure some or all of these people at gitmo may wage war against us .... but when you weight our national interests , we have more to gain from closing gitomo then keeping it .
