The 5 Star Prison for Former GITMO Detainees

— Posted under Blog, Law, Terrorism on January 19, 2010

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.
