Detainees Returning to Conflicts from Guantanamo
(Washington Post) John Mintz - At least 10 detainees released from Guantanamo Bay prison have been recaptured or killed fighting U.S. or coalition forces in Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to Pentagon officials. The cases demonstrate the difficulty Washington faces in deciding when alleged al-Qaeda and Taliban detainees should be freed. "Reports that former detainees have rejoined al-Qaeda and the Taliban are evidence that these individuals are fanatical and particularly deceptive," said Pentagon spokesman Navy Lt. Cmdr. Flex Plexico.
