Fox News<\/a> is reporting today that President Obama<\/a> has transferred six more prisoners out of Guantanamo. The six are from Yemen<\/a> and are being transferred to Oman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Congressional Republicans and other critics of releasing detainees argue they have the strong potential to return to the battlefield or commit other acts of terror.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s extremely troubling that the Obama administration has sent six dangerous terrorists to Oman, which borders Yemen — a country engulfed in civil war and that serves as the headquarters for al Qaeda<\/a>\u2019s most dangerous affiliate,” said New Hampshire GOP<\/a> Sen. Kelly Ayotte<\/a>, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Even more disturbing is the fact that the administration has not provided sufficient assurances to Congress or to the public that these terrorists will not return to the battlefield. If they are not securely detained, no one should be surprised if they travel to Yemen and re-engage in terrorist activities,”\u00a0she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2016 GOP presidential candidate and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio<\/a> said: “President Obama is once again putting his legacy above the safety and security of Americans. We need an effective detention program, not continued transfers of prisoners to countries without clear requirements for their monitoring to ensure they don’t return to the battlefield.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The release was approved by various government agencies, including the Defense Department<\/a> and State Department.<\/p>\n

There are some valid questions about the release of these prisoners. In the past, prisoners released have returned to the battlefield to fight against American soldiers. There really is nothing that will prevent these six from doing that–Oman borders Yemen, and we have no idea how carefully these men will be watched. Unfortunately we have people in our government who are not looking out for the interests of Americans or American soldiers. The release (or transfer) of these six prisoners is one example of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
