List of Gitmo Detainees Obama Is Considering To Release In “Peace Deal” With The Taliban…
Just the fact that he’s considering it is enough to make your blood boil.
Via WaPo’s Marc Thiessen:
President Obama is reportedly considering releasing several senior Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay as an enticement to get the Taliban to the peace table. If he does so, he will do tremendous harm to American national security — and to his prospects for reelection this fall.
To understand why, consider the individuals White House is considering setting free. Last year WikiLeaks released a trove of documents it dubbed the “Gitmo Files” with assessments of hundreds of Guantanamo detainees — including the five Taliban leaders reportedly under consideration for release. Here is the U.S. military’s assessment of them:
Mullah Mohammed Fazl, deputy defense minister. Fazl is “wanted by the UN for possible war crimes while serving as a Taliban Army Chief of Staff and . . . was implicated in the murder of thousands of Shiites in northern Afghanistan during the Taliban reign.” He has “operational associations with significant al-Qaida and other extremist personnel,” was “involved in Taliban narcotics trafficking,” and is so senior in the Taliban hierarchy that he once threatened the Taliban’s supreme leader, Mullah Omar. Military officials assess that Fazl wields “considerable influence throughout the northern region of Afghanistan and his influence continued even after his capture” adding, “If released, [Fazl] would likely rejoin the Taliban and establish ties with anti-Coalition militias (ACM) participating in hostilities against US and Coalition forces in Afghanistan.”
Abdul Haq Wasiq, deputy minister of intelligence. Wasiq “was central to the Taliban’s efforts to form alliances with other Islamic fundamentalist groups to fight alongside the Taliban against US and Coalition forces.” He “utilized his office to support al-Qaida and to assist Taliban personnel elude capture. . . . arranged for al-Qaida personnel to train Taliban intelligence staff in intelligence methods” and “assigned al-Qaida members to the Taliban Ministry of Intelligence.” If released “he is likely to pose a threat to the US, its interests and allies.”
Mullah Norullah Noori, governor-general of Afghanistan’s northern zone. Noori “is considered one of the most significant former Taliban officials detained at JTF-GTMO” who “led troops against US and Coalition forces” and “was directly subordinate to Taliban Supreme Leader Mullah Omar.” He “is wanted by the UN for possible war crimes,” is “associated with members of al-Qaida,” and is assessed “to be a hardliner in his support of the Taliban philosophy.” He “continues to be a significant figure encouraging acts of aggression and his brother is currently a Taliban commander conducting operations against US and Coalition forces. . . . (Analyst note: Detainee would likely join his brother if released.”)
Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa, Herat governor and acting interior minister. Khairkhwa is “directly associated to Usama Bin Laden (UBL) and Taliban Supreme Commander Mullah Muhammad Omar” and was “trusted and respected by both.” After 9/11 he “represented the Taliban during meetings with Iranian officials seeking to support hostilities against US and Coalition forces” and “attended a meeting at the direction of UBL, reportedly accompanied by members of HAMAS.” He is “one of the premier opium drug lords in Western Afghanistan” and was likely “associated with a militant training camp in Herat operated by deceased al-Qaida commander (in Iraq) Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.”
Mohammad Nabi, multiple leadership roles. Nabi is “a senior Taliban official” who was “a member of a joint al-Qaida/Taliban ACM cell in Khowst and was involved in attacks against US and Coalition forces.” He “held weekly meetings” with “three al-Qaida affiliated individuals” to discuss anti-coalition plans, “maintained weapons caches,” and “facilitated two al-Qaida operatives smuggling an unknown number of missiles along the highway between Jalalabad and Peshawar,” which intelligence officials believe contributed to the deaths of two Americans.

US State Department: Don’t worry, the Muslim Brotherhood has a nice side!

On Thursday, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland reacted to a statement by the Deputy Leader of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood that it would “not recognize Israel under any circumstances” with a mind-bogglingly naïve reassurance that we shouldn’t worry:
“We’ve seen this press report. I would say that it is one member of the Muslim Brotherhood. We have had other assurances from the party with regard to their commitment not only to universal human rights, but to the international obligations that the Government of Egypt has undertaken.”
Riiight. So, according to the State Department, we should believe the private assurances from the Muslim Brotherhood that they’ll respect the peace treaty with Israel instead of the public statements of its top leaders?
The Muslim Brotherhood is already setting the stage to end the treaty. The same leader that said the Brotherhood wouldn’t recognize Israel said that it would honor current treaties during the “interim” period. After that, the peace treaty with Israel will be submitted to a referendum.
The writing is on the wall. If the ruling Egyptian military council actually lets the Islamists take over (a big if), the Muslim Brotherhood will tell the U.S., “Don’t blame us. We honored the commitment, just like we told you we would. The people chose to cancel it.”

If he does so, he will do tremendous harm to American national security — and to his prospects for reelection this fall.

He doesn’t care…
his domestic policy is…. slash and burn
his foreign policy is…. come and get us
The Chamberlain effect still exists. Isn’t this tantamount to capturing Rohm, Goebbels and Himmler and then letting them go in order to entice Hitler to talk peace?
What idiots!
opinko needs to be locked up an then tried for treason!
I didn’t see Hasan Bin Laid on the list.
Problem is, these guys will go underground and the media won’t report it if they do lead attacks on us. It will be as if they simply disappeared. The Taliban will make peace noises until after 11/12, after all, they want the Great Appeaser reelected. Then they’ll unleash the next wave of attacks, and they will have learned the U.S. does indeed negotiate with terrorists.
@tadpole
Thanks for the link. Excellent.
al taqiyya – deception: concealment for personal or corporate gain, preservation or partisan advancement…To practice deceit or guile or circumvention, practice evasion or elusion, to plot, to excercise art or craft or cunning, act with policy, practice strategem…snare or trap or profane or take away from the unsuspecting, the simpleminded, the old, weak or innocent…
self deception …
deception for $ale …
corporate / forced / gang deception …
This sounds like the appeasement to the nazis, or something worse.
I don’t know why they didn’t just execute those people knowing how much murder they surely have taken part in.
Such treasonous acts by this administration: Obama in particular…may you rot in hell sir for the damage you do to our Country. I call and name you traitor.
My whole life I have been watching middle eastern terrorists talk peace with one buffoon or another while they recruit and re-arm. Once they feel well enough equipped they go right back to their murderous campaign right where they left off.
If they are just going to be fattened up and released I wouldn’t even consider taking prisoners if I were a soldier.
You all have this all wrong. Everyone of these taliban should be released to Afghanistan. That is, released from about 10,000 feet out of the back of a C130. No chute.
I really wish I hadn’t read that.
I see a potential Fast and Furious part two where another American may lose his or her life because of what may happen. Remember Johnny Spann?
This should be filed under WFT are you thinking. No rational leader would even entertain a thought like this.
Remember the key word is Leader. This is a thing that America lacks.
Geeeez… It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that trusting the Taliban on anything is folly. Look at Pakistan that made a deal with ‘em in the northern territories and how that turned out.
Looks like our golfer-in-chief is just a bit amiss to reality. If there is a gawd, one year from now we’ll only have another week or so to put up with his nonsense…
Remember the Obuttma yardstick of behavior: If it is good for the country he will be against it and act accordingly. If it is bad for the country he will embrace it and do everything in his power to make it come true.
Use this yardstick and you can predict with 100% accuracy how this mortal enemy of our country, slimball president will act. Guaranteed 100% accuracy.
If he could get away with it he would order the bombing of American cities and towns who oppose his communist policies. A real Stalinesque monster.
Do you suppose that the State Department thinks they can find someone willing to lie to them or will the Ambassador have a colon full of PETN?
The mole in the White House is one of them…
Where should OBAMA be bannished to ELBA II,DEVILS ASTEROID,THE SPICEMINES OF KESSEL or RURAPENTAI known throughout the universe as the ALIEN GRAVEYARD
set them all free! give them there last free meal on the US tax payer (make it Kosher) and let them go. Put transmitters in there heads that can’t be removed without killing them. The ones that are still alive in a year will make for good practice for our drones for the new Republican president.
Barry will also be giving them some tax dollars and a free AK-47.
Allahu Barakbar!
Obama will release all the terrorists at gitmo and close it down as his last act in office. He will do this as a gesture of peace , then the grateful muslims will explode a nuclear bomb in one of our port cities as a thank you.

Precisely – that is all a part of islam and their view on peace treaties. They only enter into treaties or play nice when they know they do not have the upper hand. It is part of their lying ways to say they will settle down, and this is part of their overall “religion” and strategy to sue for peace in order to regroup and re-arm. It is just a pause.
And I agree with you about the no prisoner issue – who likes to play catch and release with scum like that?
@Tadpole – good link thanks. Greenfield is spot on in his essay.
I have never witnessed a more dangerous President.
Where would Obama end up if exiled, I wonder.
So the President is “reportedly considering” doing something that GW Bush did to disastrous results. Sorry all you Obama haters out there but the release of these thugs ain’t gonna happen. The President’s drone decimation of Al-Quida will continue. Bet on it. This is all rumor mongering. There is no confirmed plan to release these people.
Yeah the guy that actually caught and killed Osma Bin Laden and took Mommar Ghaddafi out along with way more high level terrorists than Bush took out is a traitor….? You clowns are the traitors…. talking sedition against the President of the United States…. You should be ashamed…Wait I forgot, Racists and bigots have no shame, because they are lying racists!
i also get annoyed when i read “obama is going to destroy america” rhetoric. its bogus! obama did well enough and the doomsayers of 4 years ago failed in most of their predictions.
EVERY TIME I THINK THESE RIGHT WING FREAKS CAN’T GET ANY SICKER THEY FIND A WAY. CONSERVATISM IS MENTAL ILLNESS. EVERY WORD THEY SPEAK AND EVERY ACT THEY COMMIT ARE THE WORDS AND ACTS OF THE MENTALLY ILL. ANYONE STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THIS CONSERVATIVE CRAP DESERVES THE HELL ON EARTH THEY ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO BRING ABOUT. BUT THE REST OF US DON’T. WHY CAN’T YOU FREAKS FIND A WAY TO DESTROY YOURSELVES WITHOUT TAKING DECENT PEOPLE DOWN WITH YOU?
The tea baggers out there show their ignorance . They call Obama EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK, FROM MARXIST, SOCIALIST, COMMIE, NAZI , KENYAN. Besides Kenyan, he’s neither anyone of these things. The tea maggots are filthy rotten propogandarists who don’t even know the meaning of all their slurs….bigots and racists of this country. The living sign of the KKK. Stand stand that a black man is president of the USA! Stop with the crap. You are racist, bigoted scumbags. That’s what you are and that all you are!
Oh looky Questionchild is banging his spoon on the highchair again. Get that child a juice box and cookie would you.
