In hindsight, they should have done away with all of them on the spot they found them. I know they say we received vital intelligence over the years from them; but they’ve been more trouble than keeping them alive was worth. I am certain after the original debacle of detaining them, the % of “live” enemy combatants with US forces went down. Lesson learned; thanks ACLU for teaching us the right way.

How good do you feel right now about America’s image being improved with his release? Pretty darned good, I’m betting.

Not great. We capture someone who admits to Taliban affiliation and yet we can’t find enough evidence to charge him. Either we need better prosecutors, or we need to raise our standard for detentions. Holding this guy for this long and then releasing him is worse than if we’d never arrested him in the first place.

[...] Hot Air »Gitmo jihadi not sure why he was released — but promises to pick up where he left off. Meet Sadeq Mohammed Saeed. He spent six years in the pen after he was caught recovering at an Afghan hospital following a battle during the U.S. invasion in 2001 — at the tender age of 17. His brother, a former jihadist himself and currently an “Islamic activist” and “mosque speaker,” talks openly of his support for Bin Laden and the Taliban (”But I’m also calling for dialogue and respect of rights and freedoms for all, and I’m against violence and coercion”). He was extradited to Yemen in June for reasons unknown even to him but which I suspect have much to do with, ahem, improving America’s image in the world, and then released by Yemeni authorities two weeks ago.

There were a lot of abuses and I don’t remember them

Translation: I was given a list of abuses to recite but have forgotten them, so take my word for it. I’m not lying, really I’m not.

Does the solution to this mohammed problem not just jump off the screen at anyone else?

Yo, a madrassa education was available was probably what he got. What he knows and his talent for speculation is likely taxed to excess deciding what to eat in the morning.

If it isn’t spelled out in the koran, they don’t know how to deal with it. Logic and reasoning are beyond all followers of that camel-humper “Mo” (Beany propellor hat upon him).

I find it interesting that, in detailing the “abuses” that he suffered at Gitmo, 1) he cannot recall them, but is sure they occurred:

There were a lot of abuses and I don’t remember them but it is enough to say there were religious abuses and reviling Allah, his prophet and the believers,” he said…

and 2) the “abuses” he does detail are all about insulting Allah and the prophet. If torture now includes expressing one’s opinion about Allah and Mohammed, then everything is torture. Stupid.

[...] Allahpundit was quick to fill in the blanks, explaining that this release came as part of an attempt…. Beneath the sarcasm, the undertone isn’t too terribly hard to detect, libruls who hate America are making us less safe by trying to appease evil Islamo-Facists and Jihadists. [...]

Note how casually he connects jihad to his Islamic identity. He was picked up by U.S. troops for waging war on them in a war zone and he’s mystified as to why; to him, that sort of thing is simply what Muslims do, no different than being arrested for praying at the mosque, really.

Great analysis.

“The only reason I know for being detained is that I’m Muslim, and I do not know any other thing. Now I do not know why they released me. This is at the hand of Allah.” [Sadeq] speculated.

Yo, a madrassa education was available was probably what he got. What he knows and his talent for speculation is likely taxed to excess deciding what to eat in the morning.

My guess is his release is tied to the GPS chip embedded in his throat. Keep digging, boy, ’til you find it.
