The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia historically has played a major role in the development of jihadism. Each time the United States releases Saudis from the prison at Guantanamo, the kingdom dispatches a 747 to Cuba to pick them upthe Saudi government is paying for cars, homes, even marriages for these "reformed jihadists.

This statistic came out in the New York Times last week, and then the Times reporter seemed to backpedal on it. Now the Pentagon has reaffirmed it.
"One in 7 who leave Guantanamo involved in terrorism," from ReutersReuters, May 26 (thanks to Sr. Soph):
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Seventy-four, or one out of every seven, terrorism suspects formerly held at the U.S. detention site at Guantanamo Bay are confirmed or suspected of having returned to terrorism, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
Of more than 530 detainees transferred from the U.S. base in Cuba, 27 are confirmed and 47 suspected of "reengaging in terrorist activity," according to a written Pentagon summary.
The total of 74 has more than doubled since May 2007, when the Pentagon said about 30 had gone back to terrorist activity, and increased slightly since January, when the figure stood at 61....
Citing information from the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon provided the names and brief details of 15 former detainees it said had been confirmed as having returned to terrorism and 14 suspected of doing so.
The list included former detainees accused or convicted of terrorist offenses in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Russia.
Among the more recent cases mentioned were two men repatriated to Saudi Arabia in 2007, Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shihri and Mazin Salih Musaid al-Alawi al-Awfi, said to have announced in a video message in January that they were leaders of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a new group.
Among those accused of the most serious offenses was Said Mohammed Alim Shah, also known as Abdullah Mahsud. Repatriated to Afghanistan in 2004, he blew himself up to avoid capture by Pakistani forces in July 2007, the summary said.

These kids were decieved to get into Jihad because they don't have anything to do in their life. Then, they were punished for what they did by USA. They have suffered from being decieved by Jihadist to get into their wars. They have been tourtured by USA in Guantanamo. I believe they should have some treatment for all what they have been through simply to tell them you don't have to suffer and be deluded any more. Kindness after tourture is a good way to get people not doing the same thing again

In short, Mahommedan countries are the chosen homes of ignorance, bigotry, tyranny and brutal vice, and rendezvous for a filthy, unprincipled people, as well as for brigands, felons and freebooters.
While all other countries not influenced by Islam have made rapid progress in every direction and enjoy the blessings and peace of true civilization, Mahommedan countries have remained absolutely opposed to change and reform; nay, rapacity and extortion have reduced them to a most deplorable state.

The concept of innocent until proven guilty is not for war, it's for criminal justice. It simply doesn't apply here. These aren't people being arrested on the street and then put on trial, these are enemy combatants taken captive by American soldiers after firing at them in battle.

jeez, this is scary. Surely they'd get the welcome they deserve if they were dropped into a place like Pelican Bay State Prison?

You are forgetting that these are war prisoners from a Jihadist criminal army - They do not deserve to be "proven" guilty, and do not hold "Civil rights" . They did not grant these rights to the people they are killing like Daniel Perl or the people at the world trade center either....

While these people have been involved in suspicious activity prior to being arrested, the issue was they they were not afforded basic rights under US and international law during the course of their detainment. Has 'innocent until proven guilty' changed because of 'heightened security'?

This is disgusting. If THIS is justice, then the US deserves every attack it gets.
