And that has what to do with the President?

I am PSYCHED he closed Gitmo. Hoepfully that moves America closer to the group of countries that care about human rights and further away from Yemen and other places where they torture people.

A Saudi national released from U.S. detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in September 2007

I'm also pretty sure that the new plan is to try these folks in Federal Court, which is not releasing them.

It's worth noting that the Pentagon claims of "recidivism" among released terror suspects have varied wildly through the years and they never seem able to back up any of their claims.

..."Once again, they’ve failed to identify names, numbers, dates, times, places, or acts upon which their report relies," the professor wrote. "Every time they have been required to identify the parties, the DOD has been forced to retract their false IDs and their numbers. They have included people who have never even set foot in Guantánamo—much less were they released from there."

"They have counted people as 'returning to the fight' for their having written an Op-ed piece in the New York Times and for their having appeared in a documentary exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival. The DOD has revised and retracted their internally conflicting definitions, criteria, and their numbers so often that they have ceased to have any meaning—except as an effort to sway public opinion by painting a false portrait of the supposed dangers of these men."

"... All of which are seriously undercut by the DoD statement that 'they do not track' former detainees," ...

:huh:
