Obama to Close Club Gitmo
by zombiehunter | 10:34 am, January 23, 2009
Oh, right. Call the Guinness brothers because that idea is BRILLIANT! Or maybe not. From the NYT, of all places:
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The emergence of a former Guantánamo Bay detainee as the deputy leader of Al Qaeda’s Yemeni branch has underscored the potential complications in carrying out the executive order President Obama signed Thursday that the detention center be shut down within a year.
The militant, Said Ali al-Shihri, is suspected of involvement in a deadly bombing of the United States Embassy in Yemen’s capital, Sana, in September. He was released to Saudi Arabia in 2007 and passed through a Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists before resurfacing with Al Qaeda in Yemen.
His status was announced in an Internet statement by the militant group and was confirmed by an American counterterrorism official.
Apparently the Saudi Rehabilitation Program for Former Jihadists didn’t work. Maybe all these Islamic Jihadists really need is a hug? What do you say Gov. Ritter?

Just curious, what does Obama have in mind for those we capture that pose threats to our country? His orders call for Gitmo closure in a year regardless of whether or not we have somewhere to send them. And with Americans more worried about themselves and what is going to happen with the domestic issues at hand (financially, with housing, hell, even the wireless internet that is supposedly going to be made available) Obama will have too much to deal with to think about rehabilitation for these terrorists.
