Plotters Of NWA 253 Bombing Plot Were Freed From Gitmo

Chicago Breaking News is reporting the inconvenient truth about what releasing detainees from Gitmo has wrought.

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, ABC News is reporting, quoting American officials and citing Department of Defense documents.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials, ABC News reported.

Guantanamo prisoner #333, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi, and prisoner #372, Said Ali Shari, were sent to Saudi Arabia on Nov. 9, 2007, according to the Defense Department log of detainees who were released from American custody. Al-Harbi has since changed his name to Muhamad al-Awfi.

And despite this and other evidence of these released detainees returning to the battlefield, this soft-on-terror Obama Administration is proceeding full speed ahead with closing the facility, moving it to Illinois and releasing more detainees from Gitmo.

Why? So more planes, or maybe a building, might be threatened by these practitioners of the Religion of Peace(TM) whom the liberal Democrats have spent the last eight years championing?
