Another Released Gitmo Detainee Returns To The Battlefield, Killed Fighting In Afghanistan…

I love a happy ending.

(LWJ) — The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) announced on Saturday that a “combined Afghan and coalition security force” had killed “a key affiliate of the al Qaeda network during a security operation in Jalalabad district, Nangarhar province.” The deceased “insurgent leader” has been identified as a a former Guantanamo detainee named Sabar Lal Melma.

Melma was “responsible for attacks and financing insurgent operations in the Pech district, Kunar province” and was “in contact with several senior al Qaeda members throughout Kunar and Pakistan,” according to an ISAF press release.

Afghan citizens helped security forces locate Melma, who emerged from his compound “with an AK-47 rifle and was killed.”

Melma was transferred to Afghanistan on Sept. 28, 2007. According to a leaked threat assessment, Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) identified Melma as a “medium risk,” who “may pose a threat to the US, its interests and allies.”

In the leaked file, dated June 3, 2005, JTF-GTMO recommended that Melma be “transferred to the control of another country for continued detention.” JTF-GTMO previously recommended that Melma be retained in US custody. Like many former Guantanamo detainees approved for transfer to Afghanistan, however, Melma was released at some point after his repatriation.

ISAF reports that Melma is one of “more than 40 al Qaeda insurgents” killed or captured in eastern Afghanistan this year.

    Guantanamo detainees should not be considered illegal combatants or criminals. They should be considered regular POWs. As POWs they do not have to be released until the end of hostilities. Good luck with the islamists calling an end to hostilities.

    To all liberals out there….”Give Peace a Chance” and “Kumbaya”, are just stupid songs and do not apply to the real world. In the real world, they will try to kill you as soon as you let down your guard.

    A rope and a noose at Gitmo would have been a lot cheaper than a Hellfire missile.

    They should have thrown him to the sharks. A lot less mess and a lot less trouble. Let’s be PC about it, recycle, recycle, recycle…

    Maybe we should release all of them so they can all have a happy ending instead of being catered to.

    Has anyone ever read about or have seen the documentary on just how filthy nasty some of the detainees are? They don’t qualify as humans or animals.

    CMU and Aerodog…yeah.

    Recycling combatants is foolish .Regrettable dangerous felons and pedophiles are release from prison in the US to kill and harm the local citizenry. This is the crap will live.

    One of our biggest regrets should be the food we wasted on this dirtbag while he lived the good life at Gitmo.

    Was there some kind of expectation that the Gitmo detainees would repent and reform from their terrorist ways? Oops, sorry. I used the “t” word. I mean was there an expectation that the Gitmo detainees would repent and reform from their man caused disaster ways?”

    Well, the libs always want domestic murderers, rapists and other assorted violent criminals released after a period of time, and the recidivism rate of those people is ridiculously high. No different for violent foreign criminals.

    Let’s release more of them so we can kill them all off.

    I would rather pay for a funeral then life behind bars,three square meals,entertainment and Healthcare for these goat romping, child molesters.

    I’m not so sure that would be a bad thing for these freaks.

    Maybe their 72 virgins should all look like the Wookie and Grand Voodoo Wookie?
