"The Syrian Islamic Movement posted the video Monday on YouTube. It shows the body of a fallen fighter in his 30s or 40s and a rebel leader, Sheik Abu Ahmad al Muhajir, eulogizing the man as Mohammed al Alami, a Northwest African veteran of the jihad in Afghanistan "who went through hardship for the sake of God in the prison of the Americans in Guantanamo for five years."
U.S. Defense Department officials who help track released Guantanamo detainees had no comment Tuesday.
Aaron Zelin, editor of the jihadology blog from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said the posting from the Aug. 5 funeral confirmed reports of a former Guantanamo prisoner's death in Syria that had been floating around the Internet for weeks.
"We finally have evidence with this video from a credible media outlet within the jihadi media sphere," said Zelin, who had already seen it when a Miami Herald reporter contacted him Tuesday about the overnight posting."
So, he gets out of Gitmo for trying to kill Americans, and since he goes to Syria to fight Assad, Obama and McRino now consider him an ally? Well a dead one anyway. Do I have that straight?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous -- I think that you have the gist of it.
DeleteHowever, I have an easier solution. Execute the Muslims in Gitmo. (hang with me a minute) Even if they promise to go and kill other Muslims when released, we can't trust them to do that. These folks don't have a close relationship with the truth. It will save the nation some money (a few dozen rounds of 7.62 mm) and they can close Camp X-Ray -- which is what the progressives want.
Win/Win Conservatives get what they want. Liberals get what they want.
And that would also be perfectly legal! They were captured on the battlefield without uniform, and not fighting for a recognized nation state. They are akin to pirates, and can be legally and summarily executed.
DeleteGreat news to me!
