2 Ex-Detainees In Qaeda Video
By Robert F. Worth
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Two former Guantánamo Bay detainees now appear
to have joined Al Qaeda's Yemeni branch, which released a video on
Friday showing them both and identifying them by their names and
Guantánamo detainee numbers.
American counterterrorism officials have already confirmed that
Said Ali al-Shihri, 35, who was released from the American prison
camp at Guantánamo in November 2007, is now the deputy leader of
Al Qaeda's Yemeni branch. He is suspected of playing a role in a
deadly attack on the American Embassy in the Yemeni capital, Sana,
in September.
In the video released Friday, Mr. Shihri sits alongside a man
identified as Abu Hareth Muhammad al-Awfi, who appears with a
script at the bottom of the screen giving his Guantánamo
identification number, 333. That number corresponds to a man known
in Pentagon documents as Mohamed Atiq Awayd al-Harbi, who was also
released to Saudi Arabia in November 2007.
The difference in names is partly due to the common Arab practice
of referring to men by their kunya, an honorific, in this case Abu
Hareth, derived from the name of his first son. The name Al Harbi
is a tribal designation.
Both men passed through a Saudi rehabilitation program for
jihadists after their release from Guantánamo. That program has
been seen as a model, and the Saudi government had previously said
that none of its graduates had returned to terrorism.
In the video released Friday, Mr. Awfi warns fellow prisoners
about the Saudi program and threatens attacks against Saudi
Arabia. He also speaks angrily about the Israeli attacks on Hamas
in Gaza.
Mr. Shihri also speaks in the video, saying "by God, our
imprisonment only increased our perseverance in the principles for
which we went out, did jihad for, and were imprisoned for."

Yemen Awaits 94 Gitmo Prisoners
By Reuters
SANAA, Yemen - Yemen said yesterday it expected the repatriation
soon of 94 Yemenis held at Guantanamo Bay, and vowed it would make
sure they did not rejoin the ranks of Islamic militants.
The remarks by Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh came as two men
released earlier from Guantanamo appeared on an Al Qaeda video
posted on Islamist Web sites to say they had become commanders of
the group in Yemen.
The Pentagon said this month that 61 former detainees from its
camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, appeared to have returned to fight
alongside militants since their release.
Saleh said within about three months, the United States was
expected to release 94 Yemenis who would undergo "rehabilitation to
rid them of extremism."

Simple solution! Stop taking prisoners! If there's no one to detain then you don't have to worry about running into them again. They wouldn't hesitate to kill you, so don't do them any favors. Do what you will, but thats how this old Marine would handle it.
Do ALL 700XX riders think alike? S-M-I-L-E
We tried that...Remember the Marine who was caught double tapping a wounded terrorist on video (freaking press) and they ended his career. I say he should have been decorated for doing what needed to be done. Killing is easy, living with it the rest of your life is hard...Simple solution! Stop taking prisoners!

Shoot the press first! Seriously though killing an unarmed noncombatant would weight heavy on the soul, killing a terrorist would be like taking a crap...gone and forgotten.
Dont worry....we will find these guys again. Its not like they are going to stop being terrorist Douche bags.
...But the part that upsets me is the trouble they will cause the military when they get back. And i hope not too many die because of this decision.
The press will most likely pull tail and run back home now that they got "their" president elected....they wouldnt want negative Obama news now will they.
