Gitmo

I hope that Obama and Co. are paying attention (even if they DO NOT watch “24″)…You might want to think about this before letting terrorists free…And don’t even THINK about closing Gitmo, OK?

Same holds true for Israel… KEEP THE TERRORISTS IN JAIL!!!

RIYADH – Around 25 former detainees from Guantanamo Bay camp
returned to militancy after going through a rehabilitation program for
Al-Qaeda members in Saudi Arabia, a security official said Saturday(19
June).
The United States has sent back around 120 Saudis from the detention camp at
the US naval base in Cuba. Saudi Arabia has put the returned prisoners along
with other Al-Qaeda suspects through a rehabilitation program which includes
religious re-education by clerics and financial help to start a new life.
The scheme, which some 300 extremists have attended, is part of
anti-terrorism efforts after Al-Qaeda staged attacks inside the Kingdom from
2003-06.
Around 11 Saudis from Guantanamo have gone to Yemen, an operating base for
Al-Qaeda, while others have been jailed again or killed after attending the
program, said Abdulrahman Al-Hadlaq, Director General of the General
Administration for Intellectual Security overseeing the rehabilitation.
He pinpointed strong personal ties among former prisoners but also tough US
tactics as the reason why some 20 percent of the returned Saudis relapsed
into militancy compared to 9.5 percent of other participants in the
rehabilitation program.
“Those guys from other groups didn’t suffer torture before, the
non-Guantanamos (participants). Torturing is the most dangerous thing in
radicalization. You have more extremist people if you have more torture,”
Hadlaq told reporters in a rare briefing about Saudi anti-terrorism efforts.
Despite the setback with Guantanamo prisoners, Saudi Arabia regards the
rehabilitation scheme, which kicks in after militants have served a prison
term, as a success. “There is no doubt that there is an effect,” Hadlaq
said.
