1:5 released from Guantanamo join militant groups?

Detainees released from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay have gotten into trouble. "One in five detainees released from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay has joined or is suspected of joining militant groups like al Qaeda". On what terms have they been released? Are these terms not strict enough to weed out those who are most likely to join "militant groups like al Qaeda?" As the Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell says "the vetting process for releasing detainees was an 'inexact science,' adding: 'You know, we are making subjective calls based upon judgment, intelligence. And so there is no foolproof answer in this realm. That's what makes this so difficult.'"

Anybody happen to hear about the two attempts to blow up a U.S. passenger plane over Christmas break? If you did you probably didn't know this.

"Former Guantanamo detainees... are believed to be behind a failed plot to blow up a U.S. passenger jet on Christmas Day."

As a result of the belief stated above, President Obama chose to "suspend the transfer of additional Guantanamo detainees to Yemen, citing the deteriorating security situation in the country." Of course delaying the release of detainees will not stop Obama's task of closing down the Guantanamo Bay prison. "are 198 detainees left at Guantanamo,... [including] roughly 91 Yemenis." And what is the reason for Obama having to close the prison? Here's the main reason: "detainees were denied due process for years and for harsh interrogations conducted there."
