With the steady stream of detainees being transferred out of Guantanamo Bay there is a fear amongst lawmakers that they might find their way back to the battlefield.
The Obama administration proudly touts they are winding down the controversial Guantanamo Bay by transferring 23 detainees out of the camp this year alone along with the potential of more to come before the end of the year. Some of the freed detainees have been classified as high risk and their suspected crimes range from being a weapons smuggler to a Taliban operative who was suspected to be involved in attacks against the United States.Fox News released the following information about the recently released detainees that sent to Afghanistan with no requirement that they be detained there:
Mohammed Zahir
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
He was a high-level Taliban intelligence official who was arrested on suspicion of having uranium. In 2008 a Pentagon document posted on WikiLeaks said there was evidence the uranium was to be used for a nuclear device. He is also a weapons smuggler and had been at Guantanamo since 2003.
Abdul Ghani
He was suspected to be a part of a dangerous Taliban militia unit that plotted to kidnapping and attacks against United States and Afghan Forces. According to a 2008 military document, he actually admitted taking part in at least one rocket attack against U.S. forces. He also was suspected of planting landmines and other explosives for attacks against U.S. forces.Khi Ali Gul
He fought against the Russians in the 1980’s and then later went on to be a intelligence chief for the Taliban. In 2002 he allegedly planned a rocket attack against a coalition base in Afghanistan along with other plots.
Shawali Khan
He was accused of belonging to a group that was aligned with Al Qaeda and the Taliban. In addition to that he was suspected to be behind planned attacks on U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) told Fox News the released detainees were all dangerous terrorists. She said by releasing them:We’re putting ourselves in danger, we’re putting our allies in danger . . . [Obama] doesn’t have a plan when it comes to making sure that those who are released don’t go back in the battle.
What is President’s Obama’s response to the situation? In a signed statement he said:
The Guantanamo detention facility’s continued operation undermines our national security. We must close it. I call on Members from both sides of the aisle to work with us to bring this chapter of American history to a close
 Club GITMO is a necessary evil, if you will. Chances are that all of these terrorist released from GITMO will go back to their old murderous wasy-they don’t know anything else.
More Blood will be on Obama’s hands, even after he leaves the White House.Â
