Think closing Guantanamo Bay is a good idea? Check out the records of these former detainees.
Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud Al Qosi: A Sudanese terrorist detained in 2002 and transferred to Sudan in 2012. According to an 11-page classified assessment of Qosi from Joint Task Force Guantánamo obtained by WikiLeaks, al Qosi is “an admitted member of alQaeda and one of (Usama bin Laden's) most trusted associates and a veteran bodyguard." He was rated as a “high risk” for returning to terrorism if released. Al Qosi is now a senior leader in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as well as one of the group's public spokesmen.
Yousef Mohammed al Shihri: A Saudi-born terrorist detained at Gitmo in 2002. He was transferred back to Saudi Arabia in 2007. He died in an Oct. 13, 2009, shootout with Saudi police while attempting to commit a suicide bombing attack

That's what we mean by 'too dangerous to release.'
Let me tell you, if I were innocent (some are), held for 10-15 years without a charge, were humiliated and degraded (think of those famous pictures of naked dudes being stacked on top of each other, et al), and subjected to torture, uh, I mean, enhanced interrogations . . . . I would be very angry and bitter towards the US, too. My point is that, thefore, it is difficult to say that they were terrorists or enemy combatants before being captured.
Something else. Who knew that Lady Justice was into whips and chains?

You have not even bothered to look at Gitmo? Does this not fall under holding these people until the war is over? If these people are dangerous and they have been labeled as this, how did this come about and why can't they be prosecuted?
Why has President Obama worked on releasing these people from his first day in office, instead of prosecuting them? One can't be labeled as dangerous, put in jail and have nothing to charge them with, or can they? The government shot LaVoy Finicum dead for these same reasons and you people want us to feel sorry for men from the ME who have better jails than our OWN people and are known terrorist out to kill Americans. These people have lived better lives than they would have in their own freakin country!
I say let them go and rejoin their terror cells. Then follow them back to Arabia and kill them and their old friends. Better yet is to let them go back and be killed by their old friends as we withdraw and let the civil warfare destroy all of them.
The world does not need Saudi oil when the Persians are willing to sell all they can pump.
We could tell them that they won after all, use Sharia law to lop off two hands and a foot, and send them back to be a burden on their families. Everybody wins!
The previous U.S. would have any number of clandestine assets on the ground in all of the likely candidate countries to accept them who would then track their progress in re-connecting with the upper echelons of terror. Et-voila.
