Who is left in Gitmo?
Barack Obama is going to have a tough crew to deal with when he closes down Gitmo, assuming he keeps his promise. These are not people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ray Robison points to a report form the liberal Brookings Institution in the National Defense Examiner:
The report finds that the government alleges the following about the remaining 248 inmates; "81 detainees traveled to Afghanistan for jihad, 130 stayed in Al Qaeda, Taliban, or other guest- or safehouses, 169 detainees took military or terrorist training in Afghanistan, 84 actually fought for the Taliban, many of them on the front lines against the NorthernAlliance, 88 were at Tora Bora, 71 detainees' names or aliases were found on computers, hard drives, physical lists of Al Qaeda operatives, or other material seized in raids on Al Qaeda safehouses and facilities. 64 detainees were captured under circumstances-military surrenders, live combat actions, traveling in a large pack of Mujahideen, or in the company of senior Al Qaeda figures, for example-that strongly suggest belligerency and 28 detainees served on Osama Bin Laden's security detail."It should be noted that bin Laden's body guards are chosen for their fierce loyalty to bin Laden and their brutality
So exactly where does BO plan to put these oncorrigibles? May I suggest states with Democrat governors?
