Wikileaks: U.S. Released 160 Gitmo Detainees Who Were Judged “Likely to Pose a Threat,” At Least 24 of Those Have Returned to Fighting Jihad…
Gross incompetence.
An NPR investigation of secret military documents from the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay details the system used to assess how dangerous the detainees would be if released.
More than 160 of the prisoners released or transferred from the Guantanamo detention camp under Presidents Bush and Obama had previously been judged as “likely to pose a threat to the U.S.” The decision to release or transfer these detainees, despite their former classification as “high risk,” contradicted the Pentagon’s own recommendation that prisoners in this category should remain in detention.
The detainee risk profiles and other classified findings are contained in hundreds of secret Guantanamo documents obtained by The New York Times and shared with NPR. The files were part of a trove leaked last year to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, but the Guantanamo files were made available by another source on condition of anonymity. No documents classified as “top secret” were included in the collection. . . .
The large number of detainees who were transferred or released from Guantanamo despite their “high-risk” assessment is nonetheless striking. Of 600 detainees known to have been transferred out of Guantanamo since 2002, at least 160 were previously in the high-risk category. The repatriation of more high-risk detainees appears likely.
The Obama administration has not yet named the 89 current Guantanamo detainees it says are due to be transferred, but only about 40 of those still in detention at the camp were assessed as “medium” or “low” security risks as of early 2009, according to the investigation by NPR and The New York Times. Some risk assessments have since been revised. The Obama administration carried out a new review of all Guantanamo detainees after it took office in January 2009, and those reports are not included in the documents reviewed by NPR.
Among the “high-risk” detainees who have been transferred from Guantanamo since 2002, NPR and the Times have identified at least a dozen who have returned to terrorism or otherwise reassociated with al-Qaida, including two Saudis who became leaders of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

Meanwhile, in today’s Boston Globe there’s a whole article about how these poor lambs were held without cause:

Since Obama cannot close Gitmo, he will simply empty it.
Incompetence? Not really. The regime actively supports jihad. Just look at their support for the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Al-Qaeda in Libya. They also promote and support pro-jihadist Al Jazeera and Islamist activities in the US.
Don’t take so many prisoners and you do not have this problem.
The Geneva Convention states that these terrorist “fighters” are not in any recognized uniform of any recognized military of any recgonized government/state/country so as such they can be shot on the field of battle on sight! And to boot these terrorist “fighters” refuse to recognize any of the Geneva Conventions Rules but of course the jellyroll liberals all cry about the USA taking the moral high ground and arresting these poow poow muzzie mass murderers and giving them 3 hots and a cot and than an attorney to represent them in civilian court room! Ummmmmm, can anyone tell me what happened to captured German, Italian and Japanese troops during WWII? They were put into POW camps till the END OF ALL HOSTILITIES! The only time i can think of when troops of an opposing side was released was during prisoner exchange truces. But of course the idiot lefties oh so conventiantly leave that part out or twist it around somehow to suit their agenda. Oh, i see some of the trolls here coming up and Boo Hooing that we arent at war, yada yada yada. Denying the truth of the matter will only get you so far leftie idiots! We, the Western World are at war with islam as it has been at war with the rest of the planet since islams very start.
Sometimes I wonder if they released them so they could give them the “martyrdom” they long for? On the other hand, it would be a travesty if they end back up in Guantanamo.
Are these Wikileaks files ? Yes. It is on their website.
But then it says they are other files released by unnamed source. ????
Media bitch fight . Leftie Guardian did not even allude to Wikileaks. Man Assange has really pissed them off.
By stating they are from another source than WL via Manning they have suggested a new informer. FBI is on to it?
