Two men released from the US “war on terror” prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.
One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP.
Three other men appear in the video, including Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi, identified as an Al-Qaeda field commander. SITE later said he was prisoner No. 333.
A Pentagon spokesman, Commander Jeffrey Gordon, on Saturday declined to confirm the SITE information.
“We remain concerned about ex-Guantanamo detainees who have re-affiliated with terrorist organizations after their departure,” said Gordon.
[...]
“By Allah, imprisonment only increased our persistence in our principles for which we went out, did jihad for, and were imprisoned for,” al-Shihri was quoted as saying.
[...]
The latest case highlights the risk the new US administration faces as it moves to empty Guantanamo of its remaining 245 prisoners and close the controversial detention camp within a year.
Prisoner No.333: only 50% evil!
# 80 Mr. Fusion said, “So part were you referring to?
Every person in enemy hands must be either a prisoner of war and, as such, be covered by the Third Convention; or a civilian…”
What does it matter? That’s not what the Convention states…
COW-PADDY,
So you are back to answer where in the Constitution Congress is forbidden to regulate CEO’s wages or give us a citation where Nancy Pelosi said she wants Gitmo detainees to settle on American soil?
#82, Cow-Paddy,
You are such a troll. Who said it did?
Maybe if you could follow the link you would know these things. Instead you just keep trolling along with pure bullshit.
#80 Again in you missed it:

Not wearing a uniform makes them a spy and as such they may be killed.
# 85 Benjamin said, “Not wearing a uniform makes them a spy and as such they may be killed.”
As was done by Axis & Allied military units in WW2. No Constitutional problem at all. The worst was wearing the uniform of the enemy you were fighting. That got you shot on the spot by whoever had a loaded gun.
And exactly why did Bush let them go?
Because he’s so incompetent he couldn’t even convict 2 senior Al Qaeda officials, but grannys are getting rectal strip searches at airports just in case.
I think Paddy-RAMBO has tacitly admitted he is full of shit.
Congratulations, Paddy-RAMBO. Admitting your problem is the first step to recovery.
By the way, japanese internment camps had a rather odd effect on many japanese later in life. Many joined communist terrorist groups out of bitterness towards the west. Japanese citizens were captured among PFLP in Palestine (People’s Front for the Liberation of Palestine). Many japanese fight as mercenaries as well in far flung obscure wars all over the world.
Sometimes a wrong stays on a people’s psyche. heck, there’s rednecks who STILL are angry about the civil war.
…ok you clowns, -all of you.
WAKE the F UP!! get a clue.. this is a propaganda piece to make sure the left-right arguments & hate towards each other continue and prevent you from seeing through the one world bull. (and ensure you stay divided)
jeezes…look at these two..they dont look even LOOK like they spent 1 day in hardship or on the battlefront. they’re too well fed and too light skinned for dessert fighting imo..and whats with the pinky ring? -cia puppets? (al-qaeda was created by the cia, dont forget)
plus..the guy on the left is using a long barrel rifle and the guy on the right might have a AKS-74U both of which *long cartridges* -yet they have what looks like 9MM NATO/45 ACP rounds?? who uses short ammo in a long barrel AK-47 type weapon..? Uzi/MAC-10/11 types use short ammo.
this is a crap story meant to make sure you keep your eye off the ball and on your neighbor..
wake up people and stop buying into this crap.

#85, Benji,
Not wearing a uniform makes them a spy and as such they may be killed.
So civilians are open season now? Now again, you said uniforms. Where in your link does it say “uniforms are required”.
Further, if you read the passage (from your link), captives are EITHER prisoners of war OR civilians. There is no middle ground called “enemy combatants”. If they are civilians they need to be tried in a court of law in a fair trial. If they are POWs they need to be treated as such. Nowhere is torture allowed.
so I’ll ask it again,
Where is not wearing a uniform a war crime punishable by death? You posted it now show us the legal citation.

Paddy-RAMBO and ‘tempt MUST have answered these outstanding questions already. Right? I missed their replies.
What were they??
