Sleight of Hand: While All Watch Pope, Obama Releases Dangerous Terrorist

Six national security agencies warned against releasing an extremely dangerous terrorist from GITMO but Obama circumvented them and ignored their recommendations.

Does he ever listen to anyone other than the god staring back from his mirror?

Normally, these agencies must sign off on letting a detainee go. They also insist that their home country have security in place to monitor the detainee. Obama ignored them and had his own “special committee” appointed who then let him go. They overruled the six intelligence agencies. The White House is playing nasty, dangerous politics.

As the Pope’s plane landed outside D.C., the White House announced the release. All the media but Fox ignored it or didn’t notice it. It is, however, an extremely important story because Barack Obama has succeeded in completely politicizing the Department of Defense.

Obama still wants to close GITMO and send all the vicious terrorists back to their homes to kill more Americans.

Abdul Shalabi was suspected of being an Osama bin Laden bodyguard and waged a 9-year hunger strike. Shalabi has agreed to take a “rehabilitation class” in Saudi Arabia. That’s how absurd this gets. It leaves 114 at GITMO with 52 already approved for transfer.

Even Obama’s hand picked review board said that Shalabi “probably continues to sympathize with extremists” in a statement. But that is no excuse to hold him in Obama’s mind.
More than 100 prisoners released from Guantanamo Bay went right back to being terrorists when they got out, according to a new report.

Out of 647 detainees who were released, 116 — or 18 percent — have been confirmed as “re-engaging” in terrorism, according to the report by the Director of National Intelligence.
