A man who was released from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in December has become a senior Taliban military commander in Afghanistan, U.S. officials said.

Abdul Qayum Zakir was named to replace Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, whom Pakistani security forces captured last month, a Taliban operative told CNN.

A former Pakistani intelligence official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the subject, also confirmed Zakir's appointment.

Zakir was released from U.S. custody on December 7, U.S. officials said.

The above is a long history of gitmo and policies under Bush. Note: I did not read it all and am posting only for information, not to provide proof of any wrongdoing by former President Bush.

More information, neither for or against either President Obama or former President Bush.

Again, for information purposes only. I did not completely read it, so I could be cooking my own goose here.

I think this is just more evidence that we need to treat all of these Gitmo detainees with compassion and grant them all the same freedoms and privileges as the American citizens that they have pledged to kill.

Yes, set them free please. They have work to do! Time's a wasting.

Yes, but we can't set them free in their home countries, we need to send them to a beach resort where they can live out their lives in comfort on the US taxpayers' dime.

I disagree Nate. I think we should send them where they want to go. A nice little place where they can enjoy their so called 7 virgins. I actually know a way to get them there.

I know you where showing sarcasm lol

= sarcasm



Maybe I should write out my sarcastic comments like this next time:

[libtard delusion]Of course, we need to treat these detainees with compassion, because we all know that these so-called "terrorists" are just lashing out at America's evil, imperialistic exploitation of the dark-skinned nations and the murdering of their people for oil.[/libtard delusion]



What's sad is that there are otherwise intelligent people who actually believe that garbage.
