1 in 7 Transferred From Guantánamo Returns to Terrorism, Pentagon Report Says - NYTimes.com
WASHINGTON — An unreleased Pentagon report concludes that about one in seven of the 534 prisoners already transferred abroad from the detention center in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, has returned to terrorism or militant activity, according to administration officials.
Given the nature of the prisoners, this isn’t all that surprising. In fact, that one in seven ratio seems surprisingly low to me. Also, why is this report still unreleased?
Two administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said the report was being held up by Defense Department employees fearful of upsetting the White House, at a time when even Congressional Democrats have begun to show misgivings over Mr. Obama’s plan to close Guantánamo.
Oh. Never mind. Wouldn’t want to disturb the Obamaminions in their frantic quest to free the enemies of their country.
