On Friday, Investor’s Business Daily<\/a> reported that the Pentagon has cleared seventeen more Guantanamo<\/a> prisoners for release.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Release of the 17 supposedly “low-level” combatants, many of them from Yemen<\/a>, where war rages, brings the number of Gitmo<\/a> prisoners down to 90. We were told that “Osama bin Laden<\/a>‘s cook,” Ibrahim al-Qosi<\/a>, released by Obama from Gitmo in 2012, was low-level, but now he cooks up terrorist operations as a celebrity leader of al-Qaida<\/a> in Yemen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pentagon<\/a> is going along with this politicized emptying of the Guantanamo Bay holding facility. And the decision coming right after an Islamic State-inspired Christmas party attack within the homeland, which slaughtered 14 innocent Americans<\/a>, suggests the U.S. military leadership has become a group of puppets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A major reason for former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel<\/a>‘s forced departure as Obama’s defense secretary last year after a brief tenure, let’s not forget, was his hesitation in approving Gitmo releases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guantanamo was opened for a reason. The prisoners held there are not soldiers–they do not wear uniforms and they are not entitled to the niceties of the Geneva Convention. There is a risk that if we close the facility and bring them to America, they will be given the rights of American citizens to a civilian trial. The danger there would be in the discovery phase of the trial. The discovery phase involves sharing information with the person charged with a crime. In that case, there is a strong possibility that classified information would find its way into the possession of people who do not wish America well.<\/p>\n

Guantanamo is not a horrible place. Right now it is a necessary place. Emptying Guantanamo out while the war on terror continues is simply unwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
