What a coincidence that ABCNEws thought it news worthy to put this out. I wonder if it was news worthy at the time?
The "tough on terror" slugs Bush and Chaney.

And yet board repugs will criticise Obamas efforts get the economy rolling and to end the farce war Bushie started and drained the US economy for eight years....
excerpt:
American officials agreed to send the terrorist from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia, where he entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and was set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials. ABC News described his enrollment in the art therapy program in a January report. (See video to the left.)

So Fabbs, would you agree that Obama should not close down Gitmo?
Absotively.
What do you think about Bushie setting him free to terrorize all over again?
The US shouldn't imprison any human that it can't convict of crimes.
The inhumane/dehumanizing treatment of Gitmo and "exceptionally renditioned" tortured others very probably did a lot to turn these guys into terrorists and killers, devaluing their own lives and hating the US even more than before they were captured.
I read where 50%+ American favor torturing the underpants bomber.
How far America has fallen from its self-aggrandizing pedestal as exceptional "better" than the rest of the world. Or maybe America never was really "better" than the rest of the world?
Does Fox think it worthy to run at this time?
Do you think it is worthy of running?
Actually, they posted a report that he had joined al-Qaeda in Yemen almost a year ago.I wonder if it was news worthy at the time?

I guess you didn't think it was worthy back then.
So I guess we're all agreed then.
What OBAMA's doing now is really dumb too, eh?
Closing Gitmo and trying detainees aren't necessarily dumb, eh.
Board Repugs, you're hiding.
bok bok bok bok
Wait. First it was against our country's beliefs to hold terrorists indefinitely? Now when Bush is forced to release these terrorists, it is his fault?
The fault goes to the idea of fighting a war through untestested progressive anti-American programs.
I read somewhere that 60% of the guys released from Gitmo end up fighting us again.
Holding terrorists indefinitely, off America's shores is not necessarily dumb eh?
Returning terrorists to their country, even if it means they will get imprisoned inhumanely, is not necessarily dumb eh?
I think had it not been for the ACLU and Democrats (combined with the constant harping of a liberal press) dragging the Bush administration into court over the Gitmo detainees, the Bush administration wouldn't have released any of them and that bas would still be rotting in a jail cell.
Democrats have a very short memory...
Should have just tortured him and left the corpse in a cell in gitmo instead of believing in rehabilitation and listening to the libs.
Got it.
I would have settled for detaining him.
I think it's pretty funny that Gitmo prisoners are now threatening to sue Obama for his whacky idea of moving them from Cuba to Illinois. Apparently, conditions are so bad for them down there they'd rather endure them than be moved to a state-of-the-art maximum security prison in the States.
No kidding.Wait. First it was against our country's beliefs to hold terrorists indefinitely? Now when Bush is forced to release these terrorists, it is his fault?

The board lib s keep getting more stupid as time goes by.
Prosecute by what standards? If you mean a military tribunal, then I agree. If you mean by what the US laws have become, you are dead wrong.
Do you have any evidence of that? I think not. Assuming this was as bad as it's made out to be, I think it's safe to say this only happened to prisoners who we knew had actionable intelligence that was needed.
I think he is tourured enough. He probably doesn't have anything viable left in his pants!
No, we have only fallen because of pussy lib s like you.
You can hold them indefinitely in the US as well, idiot.
Well, I finally stop ignoring Chumpy, and he still spews his ignorant .It has been reported by Fox long ago. Why should they do it again, when the other networks are already behind, pushing this off as blame now?
Not in it's slanted cherry-picking fashion. Fox also release a similar report on the same day as the ABC story. This story from Fox probably puts it in perspective better though:
Obama Talks to Yemen President About Future of Yemenis Held at Guantanamo
You see, this guy was sent to be rehabilitated. He wasn't just released.Few dispute that Saudi Arabia has one of the most successful jihadist rehabilitation programs in the world. Thousands of extremists, including Guantanamo detainees, have received job training, psychological therapy and religious re-education before being sent back to society. The vast majority have not rejoined the fight, according to Saudi officials and terrorism experts.
Yet some have. In an embarrassing episode for the kingdom, Saudi officials announced in February that 11 former Guantanamo detainees who went through the rehab program are now on its government's most wanted terrorist list for their connections to al-Qaida. Among them is Said Ali al-Shihri, who emerged as a leader of Yemen's branch of al-Qaida after being released from the Saudi program a year ago.
Aren't you liberals all in favor or rehabilitation? You push it on us, then say it's someone elses fault when it doesn't work.
Shame on you.
ing hypocritical lib s.
I read it was only 14% who are known or suspected.
so....bush was afraid.
So you approve when Bush's name isn't mentioned as the president responsible for his release.
Shame on you.
ing hypocrite.
No. Actually, I think the releases were pursuant to court orders that forced the administration to either grant certain rights to the detainees or release them.
The Bush administration chose the lesser of two evils; send detainees to ostensibly like-minded countries (like Yemen) or have intelligence practices and methods exposed to the enemy in U.S. Courts.
"have intelligence practices and methods exposed to the enemy in U.S. Courts"
red herring. Many legal commentators and jurists say there are ways to protect confidential information in courts.
the underwear bomber episdoes proves the NatSec secrets (jokes?) are really worth hiding from the enemy. Like, how the all the Nat Sec players collect/share and connect the dots with deadly accuracy.
Lawyers visiting detainees have already been busted passing information. It's not a red herring.
