…Leaks GITMO recidivism rates to placate left on keeping GITMO open a little while longer until he can figure out what to do with Yemenis.At least that’s what it looks like. Too funny. Story here.
He didn’t believe the G-4-3 about dangerous people at GITMO but has to experiment on Americans’ security for himself. Feel safe yet?
Nut ‘graf:
Two U.S. officials confirm to ABC News that the number of released detainees suspected of or confirmed to have returned to terrorist activities has risen to 20 percent. They would not provide the raw numbers on which the percentages are based. A U.S. official tells ABC News that the most recent report was completed in late December.
And don’t forget this aspect of the terrorism issue from the WSJ and Jack Kelly at Real Clear Politics:
Brian Jenkins, a terrorism expert for the RAND Corp., said that of 32 terror-related “events” in America since 9/11, 12 occurred in 2009. This spike probably is due in part to the fact that security officials in the Obama administration think it more important to avoid hurting the feelings of Muslims than to take effective measures to protect Americans.
Political correctness also is one reason TSA finds it easier to punish all innocent air travelers rather than to focus on the handful of potential threats. The Israeli airline El Al, which takes the opposite approach, hasn’t had a terror attack in many years.
