Barack Hussein Obama and Eric Holder want to close Guantanamo Bay and bring the “detainees” home to the United States, release them to their home countries or third party countries because the native country doesn’t want them. Imagine that!

Many who have been released from Guantanamo Bay have returned to the battlefield, rejoined their terrorist friends from al-Qaeda around the world or have set up shop to act independently in their quest to kill infidels.

Fron The Long War Journal:

Former Guantanamo detainee has emerged as a leading ideologue and theologian for al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula – one of the strongest al Qaeda affiliates in the world.

Ibrahim Suleiman al Rubaish was captured by Pakistani authorities in late 2001 and then handed over to American officials who transferred him to Guantanamo. Rubaish was held there until Dec. 13, 2006, when he was transferred to Saudi Arabia and placed in the Saudi rehabilitation program for jihadists. At some point, Rubaish escaped from Saudi Arabia by fleeing south to Yemen.

In February 2009, the Saudi Kingdom placed Rubaish, along with at least 10 other former Gitmo detainees, on its list of 85 most-wanted terrorists. One of the former Gitmo detainees Rubaish fled to Yemen with, Said Ali al Shihri, is now the deputy of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which was formed when the al Qaeda branches in Yemen and Saudi Arabia merged.

Two other former Gitmo detainees who fled to Yemen along with Rubaish have been killed in shootouts. [See LWJ reports "Former Gitmo detainee killed in shootout" and "Another former Gitmo detainee killed in shootout."]

There is a distinct irony in Rubaish’s role as al Qaeda’s chief anti-Saudi Mufti. During his administrative review board (ARB) hearing at Guantanamo, Rubaish was asked about his desire to wage jihad against the Saudi government and America. “Before I mentioned that the United States is a partner with Saudi Arabia, so how could I consider it an enemy of Islam if it’s a friend of Saudi Arabia?,” Rubaish asked rhetorically in response.

Thus, Rubaish denied that he wanted to wage jihad against either America or Saudi Arabia. This is a demonstrable lie given his current role as al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s chief anti-Saudi theologian and his loud condemnation of the relationship between the Saudi government and America.

But while Rubaish falsely claimed that he was not an enemy of the US or Saudi Arabia during his ARB hearing, he also made important admissions. Rubaish conceded that he was trained at al Qaeda’s al Farouq training camp. But Rubaish claimed that he did not know al Farouq was an al Qaeda facility. This is an implausible excuse given al Farouq was one of al Qaeda’s chief training facilities in pre-9/11 Afghanistan.

Rubaish was released from Guantanamo and returned to jihad in short order. His proclamations are now recorded and published by al Qaeda’s multimedia operation and various other jihadist web sites. Rubaish’s words are routinely used as propaganda to inspire would-be al Qaeda members to follow the path of jihad.

One wonders why Obama, Holder and so many think bringing terrorists to the US homeland is a good idea, why using the Federal court system is reasonable and what the review boards are gleaning from interviews when they conclude release is the proper direction for an admitted enemy to the US and allies. Indeed!
