Sleight-of-hand, and now they’re good to go…
Via Daily Caller:
All 15 of the detainee’s released by President Obama on Saturday were deemed “High” risk in Department of Defense reviews.
Each detainee’s DOD review, according to The New York Times Guantanamo Docket, classified him as “High Risk” and noted “he is likely to pose a threat to the U.S., its interests, and its allies.” Several of the detainee’s were also classified as “HIGH intelligence value.” The reviews were conducted while former President George W. Bush was in office.
After Obama took office he issued an executive order in 2009 calling for a new comprehensive review process, which paved the way for the Saturday release.
“The terrorists this administration just released include individuals who fought on the frontlines against U.S. and other coalition forces, targeted U.S. personnel with explosives, served as bin Laden bodyguards, and acted as al Qaeda IED experts,” Senator Kelly Ayotte said in a statement on Monday.
