At least 10 detainees released from the Guantanamo Bay prison after U.S. officials concluded they posed little threat have been recaptured or killed fighting U.S. or coalition forces in Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to Pentagon officials. Right, so 10 have rejoined Al Qaeda. How many in total have been released from Gitmo? My guess is that anybody fighting the US / Afghan liberation forces would tend to be labeled Taliban if Afghan, and generally sent to Afghan jails. Those not Afghan (fighting with guns) are Al Qaeda and they would tend to be sent to Guantanamo. Well that's WAY TOO LOOSE a justification to send someone to Gitmo for year. Perhaps 19 year old Jordanian Abdullah went to visit his "fundamentalist" Al Qaeda 25 year old brother Jordanian Sultan, and the fighting breaks out. Abdullah may not have the best family, but he probably doesn't deserve multiple years internment without trial or even prisoner of war rights. I hope the US's criterion are a bit more strict than you list (was present and not Afghan).

re: My gues is that anybody fighting the US / Afghan liberation forces would tend to be labeled Taliban if Afghan, and generally sent to Afghan jails. Perhaps you didn't read the article you posted: "Another returned captive is an Afghan teenager who had spent two years at a special compound for young detainees at the military prison in Cuba, where he learned English, played sports and watched videos, informed sources said. U.S. officials believed they had persuaded him to abandon his life with the Taliban, but recently the young man, now 18, was recaptured with other Taliban fighters near Kandahar, Afghanistan, according to the sources, who asked for anonymity because they were discussing sensitive military information." Sure sounds like an Afghan Taliban to me. Should we Gas Him At Gitmo?
