GEE, you don't say. I know, let's give the inmates U.S. lawyers and put them on probation in the U.S. until their hearings.

THEN MAYBE THEY CAN BLOW UP ONE OF THE DOPES WHO ADVOCATED FOR THEIR RELEASE!

A Kuwaiti who had been imprisoned in Guantanamo for more than 3 1/2 years carried out a recent suicide attack in Iraq, the U.S. military said Wednesday.

Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi took part in one of three suicide bomb attacks last month in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Scott Rye, a military spokesman.

It appears to be the first time someone who was held at the prison at the U.S. base in Cuba has carried out a suicide attack, said a Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon.

Al-Ajmi, 29, was transferred in 2005 to Kuwait, where the government was supposed to ensure he would not pose a threat. In May 2006, a Kuwaiti court acquitted him and four other former Guantanamo prisoners of terrorism charges.

Yep, the DIA says as many as three dozen former detainees are confirmed or suspected of having returned to terrorist activities.

Release 'em all, just make sure we know when and where.

The article states that the number is one dozen...

But this guy didn't get released because of the actions of any lawyer, we turned him over to Kuwait, our good ally, for punishment.

Interestingly enough, it really shouldn't be such a complete surprise

From the link:

quote:
Military documents previously released to AP show that al-Ajmi was "constantly in trouble" while in Guantanamo and held in disciplinary blocks during his detention. He also allegedly told officials in August 2004 that "he now is a jihadist, an enemy combatant, and that he will kill as many Americans as he possibly can."


My goodness, who should we blame for this? The ACLU? JAG? or perhaps Kuwait?

You raise a good point, Dave.. aside from 'intentional release' our ME allies apparently have prisons with dirt floors and a lot of 'preoccupied guards situated next to congested urban areas (within easy 15 minute tunneling distance.......)

If a country took away 3.5 years of my life and even if I did not hate it before I would after. I would not do a suicide attack but I would take some high risks to get even.

Yeah, the Yemeni's, who have good reason to hate Al Qaeda, also have prisons made out of the latest high tech paper mache. Maybe we should sell them our Duct Tape? That stuff is tough!

No worries.
The guy was a freak.
Close GTMO and give them all flowers and one way, first class tickets to the destination of their choice.
Obviously this one guy had a chip on his shoulder.
And the Kuwaitis?Well, everyone makes mistakes.Right?

PTSD gitmo-style. Instead of getting a skinful and piling a new Mustang into a bridge abutment, strap on a belt full of plastique and ball bearings and leave a real mark.

Even the guys running places like Gitmo know they're 'creating monsters'.

Three and half years for being captured on the battlefield trying to kill infidels and then only to turn around kill yourself speaks of a weak mind. So I understand why he might commit suicide. But agreeing with that logic, hmm.

Another that turn his experience at Gitmo into killing his fellow countrymen and the Chinese? they do live in a world of their own, again logic has nothing to do with it.

My comments about parts of the news article:

A. It appears to be the first time someone who was held at the prison at the U.S. base in Cuba has carried out a suicide attack, said a Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon.

A. Stay tuned, more to come...


B. In May 2006, a Kuwaiti court acquitted him and four other former Guantanamo prisoners of terrorism charges.

B. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.....

C. citing a cousin of al-Ajmi, last week reported that he had carried out a suicide attack, but the U.S. military could not confirm it until Wednesday.

C. Check with the boss before we say anything...

D. Rye said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that al-Ajmi's family has confirmed his death and that authorities determined he entered Iraq through Syria.

D. Serving millions since 2003!

E. "It is unknown what motivated him to leave Kuwait and go to Iraq," Rye said.

E. "SGT Shultz said, I know notheeeng".

F. "His family members reportedly were shocked to hear he had conducted a suicide bombing."

F. They did not know him very well.

G. Military documents previously released to AP show that al-Ajmi was "constantly in trouble" while in Guantanamo and held in disciplinary blocks during his detention.

G. Was he released early for good behavior?

H. He also allegedly told officials in August 2004 that "he now is a jihadist,

H. Will someone please explain this to his family so they may be relieved of their shock?

I. "an enemy combatant, and that he will kill as many Americans as he possibly can."

I. He must have added the "as he possibly can" so he would not fail his mission and get the virgins even though killed zero Americans in this act.

J. Tom Wilner, a lawyer who represented Kuwaiti prisoners at Guantanamo, said al-Ajmi had a broken arm during one of their meetings at the base in Cuba and that he alleged he had been injured by guards who interrupted him while he prayed.

J. He sees dollar signs and his dead client is seeing all those virgins.

There truly is no humor whatsoever in these mercilless killings. But I am amazed how people seem flabbergasted when something as such happens. What did they expect? I do not know.

There is at least one bright side to the whole story. One less chickensh*t terrorist to worry about.

Okay, two, we didn't have to pay for a lifetime of imprisonment.

Your mamma should be so proud, a terrorist in the making.

FYI: In the real world, we go to court if we have been wronged, we don't blow up innocent children or "get even."

This individual could have easily gotten one of the many liberal anti American organizations to sue the U.S. for wrongs if that was his real goal.

Instead, he killed innocent Iraqis and you somehow wish to justify those actions? HOW SAD!
