The 5 Star Prison for Former GITMO Detainees
This video shows the “rehabilitation” program in Saudi Arabia which former GITMO detainees were sent to. One program graduate, Said Ali al-Shihiri is second in command of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and was a key planner of the christmas bombing plot. Note how the prison is a palace and the rehabilitation center is akin to a luxury resort. Between this and Uighurs in Bermuda, it’s no wonder that al Qaeda recruiting is up.
Thanks to Marc Thiessen for the pointer.
