Five jihadis freed from Guantanamo in exchange for Bergdahl now face US as Taliban reps at peace talks

Mar 28, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Those who warned that these men would return to the jihad were mocked and vilified as “Islamophobes.” “Once Jailed in Guantánamo, 5 Taliban Now Face U.S. at Peace Talks,” by Mujib Mashal, New York Times, March 26, 2019: DOHA, Qatar — When the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and toppled the Taliban government, even […]

Jihad terrorist enjoys Rosetta Stone classes, Strawberries n’ Creme Oreos at Gitmo

Feb 13, 2018 5:31 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The U.S. military’s Guantánamo Bay detention center is continuously rewarding an al-Qaeda jihadist-turned-prosecution witness with a “comfortable cabin-style” life of luxury that allows him to garden, paint, exercise, learn English on a personal laptop, cook meals, and even watch American sitcoms, reports the Miami Herald. Courtesy of the infidel taxpayers, and the fine menu includes: […]

Gitmo prisoners demand release due to Trump’s “anti-Muslim bias”

Jan 16, 2018 7:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Eleven accused jihadists held at the U.S. military detention center in Guantánamo, Cuba have petitioned a federal court to end their alleged indefinite imprisonment, citing U.S. President Donald Trump’s “anti-Muslim bias” as grounds for their request. Among the jihadists in Guantanamo are those who “have murdered – or been trained to murder – hundreds or […]

Guantánamo inmates claim Trump’s ‘anti-Muslim bias’ fuels their detention

Jan 13, 2018 12:45 am By Robert Spencer

This is nonsense, of course. They were being held there under the same circumstances long before President Trump took office. But as we have seen many times over the years, jihadis in the West have a keen ability to exploit the flash points of American culture, finding ways to articulate their agenda that will resonate […]

Jul 29, 2017 12:17 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Guantanamo detainee sues CIA interrogation masterminds

Jun 9, 2017 9:22 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The poor jihad terrorists who murder innocents in the name of Islam sometimes later have to face tough interrogation when detained. Sympathies have been displaced and gone awry. Last year, an Obama administration official admitted that released Gitmo detainees have killed Americans. Now a Gitmo detainee is actually suing the “CIA interrogation masterminds,” and note […]

Islamic State jihad suicide bomber got £1m from UK government after being freed from Gitmo

Feb 22, 2017 11:15 am By Robert Spencer

He shouldn’t have been freed from Guantanamo, and he shouldn’t have received this £1m ($1,246,000). Those who are really responsible are the Leftist campaigners who made Guantanamo into an issue of “torture” and “human rights,” even though there was no torture or human rights violations. The poor dears who were freed from there deserved compensation […]

Obama rushed to release Guantanamo jihadists in final days in office

Jan 21, 2017 8:56 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Obama administration long held the position that transferring highly dangerous Guantanamo prisoners abroad could represent an olive branch in so-called peace talks with the Taliban. Another option in Obama’s determination to close Guantanamo was to transfer its prisoners to America, another bad idea that was met with resistance and ultimately blocked by Congress. In his final […]

Obama planning to free at least 18 more Guantanamo jihadis who have vowed to murder Americans

Jan 9, 2017 8:14 am By Robert Spencer

Obama is doing all he can to make sure that Trump will have plenty of experienced, dedicated, battle-hardened jihadis to contend with. “EXCLUSIVE: At least 18 MORE Guantanamo detainees to be freed within days as Obama starts mass transfer of fanatics who have threatened to bomb and behead Americans,” by Alana Goodman, Dailymail.com, January 5, […]

UK jihadi freed from Guantanamo flees to Syria to join al-Qaeda

Jan 8, 2017 4:50 am By Robert Spencer

Obama plans, in his final days in office, to replenish the enemy ranks even further by freeing more hardened, committed, battle-trained jihadis from Guantanamo. “British jihadi who was freed from Guantanamo Bay ‘has fled to Syria to join Al Qaeda,’” by Omar Wahid and Nick Craven, The Mail on Sunday, January 7, 2017 (thanks to […]

Gitmo prisoner reveals: Saudi “deradicalization program” is really a jihad training program

Dec 1, 2016 4:56 pm By Robert Spencer

“You guys want to send me back to Saudi Arabia because you believe there is a de-radicalization program on the surface. True. You are 100 percent right, there is a strong — externally, a strong — de-radicalization program. But make no mistake, underneath there is a hidden radicalization program. There is a very hidden strong […]

Muslim released from Gitmo in plan to rehabilitate terror detainees threatens jihad attacks on U.S. cities

Nov 6, 2016 2:42 am By Robert Spencer

“He was transferred to Sudan in 2012 as part of a deal to rehabilitate former terror detainees…” And look how well it worked. “Deradicalization” programs in general are doomed to failure, because they proceed from the assumption that Islam is a religion of peace and that once the jihadi learns the true, peaceful meaning of […]

Al-Qaeda bomb-maker in Guantanamo says a Saudi royal helped recruit him to jihad

Sep 17, 2016 4:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Although Ghassan Abdallah al-Sharbi is hardly an unimpeachable source, there is nothing implausible about this claim. “Guantanamo prisoner says terrorism recruiter referred to Saudi royal in conversation about jihad,” Associated Press, September 17, 2016: An accused al-Qaida bomb-maker who went to college in Arizona told military officials at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, […]

Obama Admin issues veto threat of Guantanamo bill

Sep 14, 2016 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The White House reiterated that the “continued operation of the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay weakens our national security by draining resources, damaging our relationships with key allies and partners, and emboldening violent extremists.” A president who has been doing back room deals with Iran to the tune of tens of billions is talking about […]

Manhunt on for former Guantanamo detainee who has disappeared in Uruguay

Jun 19, 2016 2:39 pm By Robert Spencer

This is the season of disappearing jihadis — in Florida, Arkansas and now Uruguay. One would think, given the high stakes involved, that law enforcement would pay closer attention. One would think wrong. “Law enforcement searching for former Guantanamo detainee in South America,” by Missy Ryan, Washington Post, June 17, 2016: A former Guantanamo Bay […]

“Well, Senator, he’s not supposed to be doing that. And there are consequences for that, and there will be.” Really? What are they, and how will they be administered?
