re: The captives at Guantanamo are mostly (or all) Al Quaeda fighters. The evidence of that is that when some of them are released, they rejoin Al Quaeda and commit more terrorist acts.

Show me the evidence that everyone released from Guantanamo has "rejoined" al Qaeda and committed "more" terrorist acts.

Is that the only evidence? If so, please inform us....

What % of those that have been released from Gitmo have rejoined Al Quaeda and committed more violent acts?

I've said repeatedly its quite disturbing that the US has never explained (as far as I know) what criterion was used in determining whether a person captured in Afghanistan went to Gitmo, to an Afghan jail, was extradited to their home country or was simply released. If all the Gitmo detainees were most definitely Al Queda, you'd figure the US would at least provide that level of detail.

Many of them who had been held for two-three years have been released during the past year without being charged with a crime. Some were as young as 14; others were as old as 72. It seems they weren't al Qa'ida fighters after all....but innocent people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or were pawns in a game played by Afghan tribal leaders with the US.

Worse for the average American who pays taxes.......they are suing the US for financial retribution.

Your leaders have been very consistent in their ability to not do very much right. You must be very proud that you voted for Bush twice. Mazel tov!
