And Another Terrorist Goes Free...

Actually, it might've been at the same time as the first one. The link: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hZfIcWnHqBz4kQR90lC_pXaHeW4Q

"WASHINGTON (AFP) — Two men released from the US "war on terror" prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.

One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP.

Three other men appear in the video, including Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi, identified as an Al-Qaeda field commander. SITE later said he was prisoner No. 333."

So we have the first guy I mentioned, then we have Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi. So who, pray tell, are the other two?

"The other men in the video are identified as Commander Abu Baseer al-Wahayshi and Abu Hureira Qasm al-Rimi (also known as Abu Hureira al-Sana'ani)."

I had to ask.

I wonder if they're terrorists too. Since Abu Baseer al-Wahayshi has the title "Commander," I doubt they're with Avon or the Welcome Wagon.

But then we come to the bottom of the article: "The latest case highlights the risk the new US administration faces as it moves to empty Guantanamo of its remaining 245 prisoners and close the controversial detention camp within a year. "

Yes, another 'duh' moment. Let me ask it this way: How long will it be before one of the former Guantanamo prisoners makes it to US soil and commits an act of terror? And by this, I don't mean mugging a little old lady and stealing her pocket book, although I think it's a safe bet that she'd be terrified.
