Yes Bush was President. Where is the attorney that defended this man and effected his release. Why he now works for the DOJ under Eric Holder. Ever wonder why none of these guys have been convicted yet? Just saying.

I could be wrong, but wasn't it people like you who screamed and protested that there people were being tortured in Gitmo and should be released because they were innocents just rounded up?

Even though they were not innocents just rounded up and tortured... Nice Job Liberals....

Oh..oh yes, I see that you spelled Dick in all Caps... yes..yes very clever.. Yes quite ingenious..

?? Not that I supported Bush, but do you really think that that administration WANTED to let any of those murderers go? They only did it because of all the cry babies whining about their "right" to be free. Good call to those of you that were part of that band wagon. You don't need to respond because I'm sure that there is a logical excuse for letting murderers and terrorists go free.

Mehdi Ghezali was arrested in Punjab province by Pakistanis September 10,2009 (under Obama by the way) with two other Swedes and Obama let him go- originally atrrested in 2001 as a member of AQ- in Guantanamo Cuba from 2002-04- insufficient evidence -let go- went back to Sweden and partook in different AQ affiliated groups in Britain,Saudi Arabia (known of-prtoof). He was born July 5,1979 in Stockholm,Sweden (parents- a Finnish mother and an Algerian father)- later resided in Orebro,Sweden. The ID on him was issued to JAQUE FELIPE MARTIN. Swedish Sapo (security police will issue statement later regarding Mehdi Ghezali). In Bulgaria at this very moment are 100+ Swedish tourists at Sunny Beach- a stone throw off Burgas. Ghezali speaks native Swedish- easy to assimiliate. (blend in).

..I did not know that.

you guys don't seem to realize that a lot of the people there were perfectly innocent. And then they were brutally tortured and humiliated. Their lives were completely destroyed. The torture they endured turned them into psychopaths and criminals. It is not that uncommon for for someone like that to seek revenge after the fact. If anything we should have kept them in the US and kept an eye on them.

This same individual was jailed for theft in Portugal 8/1999- 6/2000. For background and the AQ people read http://wikileaks.ch/gitmo/prisoner/166.html -while at the site keep scrolling down - info that still today is of use- like another Swede AQ recruiter Yousef Fresh- Moroccan Nieem- background matters. By the way- Bush 43 released Ghezali to Swedish custody and Sweden never brought any charges against him.

A Department of Defense list obtained by NBC News includes a man of the same name, born in Stockholm, Sweden, on July 5, 1979, and identified as inmate No.166, being released from Guantanamo Bay on July 8, 2004.

Another "repatriation" which worked really well. If the "released terrorists" are not killing Americans or other NATO forces in Afghanistan or Iraq, they are blowing up innocent people in other countries.

Guess it is time to release that Cleric to the New Egyptian President (Muslim Brotherhood) per his "demand". I am so sure he will stick to preaching his religious beliefs after he is released.

"Obama let him go" ??? I see, so your saying that the President of the United States reviews every case for every terrorist suspect that is detained IN THE WORLD by any government, in this case Pakistan. Your an idiot.

What I love is that all of you are so busy blaming or defending President Bush or blaming or defending President Obama that it doesn't seem that you read the article. The article says that it was NOT former Guantanamo Bay detainee Mehdi Ghezali that detonated this suicide bomb!! Some of you are so busy reading headlines and skimming through articles looking to defend or vilify someone that the facts in the story have become irrelevant. It's truly sad and embarrasing how partisan we have become.

Cappy, often the story changes...but the postings remain the same.

Ido said:

If you look at the headline it says :

"Ex-Gitmo detainee is not Bulgaria suicide bomber."

In a world with 7 billion people, did it occur to you that two people may have the same name?

Cassandra :

story remains the same I agree.. but didnt you think Israel went to far this time by Accusing Iran of doing this!

it used to be Iraq / Sadam / al qaida / Ben ladden / Taliban and they took them all out .. almost..

Let s turn to Iran now.. I wonder who s next?

Does Israel have something better to do than just accuse countries after countries they want US to take out for them! do they have anything better to do in Israel than Just War War War

Israel cannot take the whole world out so they can insure their existence! after all they are the chosen one thousands of years ago!

Actually, Max, Netanyahu accused Hezbollah, and went on to say that Iran supported it. But we can agree that the situation looks very grave.

Cappy, often the story changes...but the postings remain the same.

You are exactly right, Cassandra; which makes those 'convicting' the former GITMO inmate (proudamericanveteran, Mark_DW, ldo, et al) that much more the ignorant fools than they already were.

Pull up your zippers, boys.

Always nice to see the right wing trolls standing there with egg dripping off of their faces after the real story hits. One idot even went so far as to convict a lawyer 5that may have gotten the person they thought may have been the bomber released under Bush saying the lawyer now works at Justice and should be convicted. What a bunch of lames and this is the reason people should not put any stock in anything these people post ever....

So much for the right to a due process of law.

Close this base now by hanging all inmates.......

First off, getting rid of the detainees will not close the base, it's an official military base.

Second, some of these people have been proven innocent of all wrongdoing. They were dissidents in their country who the government decided to get rid of by sending them to the US as terrorists. After they were proved innocent, their home countries refused to accept them back, so they are stuck. Can't go home, can't stay here.

If you were president, what would you do with these innocent people?

Amanda : you right but we have some people here who never been in those cituation to know what it feels like! truly they dont care! so we have to wait until something happens tot hem that can change their life and the way they view negative things..

Also some of those people are victims of warlord in fighting and oppose one r the other so when they are captured they are turned in as anti American not because the warlords hate them. Same thing They cannot be sent back to their country because the people who sent them here are paying off he right people there and we cannot take them in the US

Hey, let's just ignore the fact that there is indisputable evidence that many of the GItmo detainees were objectively innocent! That'll be fun!

Here are two nice examples from the US government's OWN FILES. I suppose that you would have absolutely no problem with imprisoning these INNOCENT people indefinitely:

1. "Mohammed Sadiq was rounded up in a raid on his settlement after a satellite phone and a list of Taliban-linked numbers were found belonging to his neighbour.

Repeated interrogations and a lie-detector test at Guantánamo showed that he had no knowledge of his neighbour’s links to the Taliban and 'did not know how to operate the phone'. He was released in September 2002.

2. "Naqib Ullah was 14 when he was kidnapped at gunpoint, raped by a group of 11 men and put to work in the compound of the Taliban warlord Samoud Khan.

He was captured after three days in a US forces raid in December 2002, and shipped to Guantánamo two months later. His file describes him as a “kidnap victim and a forced conscript of a local warring tribe”. He was deemed innocent and released in January 2004."

^^^^another liberal idiot^^^^

Mehdi Ghezali was arrested again by Paks in Punjab September 10,2009 as AQ operatrive and Obama let him go.

Well, since we are a nation founded on the primacy of rule of law, lets not. Your way gets you Syria or Iran.

That's interesting because as our country becomes less and less conservative, it is without argument becoming more and more @!$%#ed up.

Kayner, what country are you talking about? America is becoming MORE conservative...as strange as that may seem to be, in the middle of a recession.

Let's not forget how Bush Cheney started fake Iraq war to get Iraq oil, to feed no bid contracts to Cheney's failing Haliburton company, and most important to Bush, " want to be know as a war president because war presidents are remembered." which was told to his Air Force correspondent when first elected. She told how Bush/Cheney used old intel proven to have been false and debunked that was told to Bush Cheney that is was debunked. They chose to lie and use it and the result was the murder of thousands of our troops and troops from other countries. The wounding of thousands and thousands more and are dying because of the wounds suffered. Thousands of citizens killed and wounded and families fleeing and now in other countries losing everything. They when they finally capture and kill Saddam (who was contained and going no where before attck ) Bush and Cheney had NO plan on who would rule country, thus all the looting and rioting and chance for terrorists to come to to get all the arms abandoned because of Bush Brain. Bush Cheney war criminals that can't leave our country because they will be arrested and charged with war crimes.

Now Romney has hired many Bush Cheney advisors because lying into war and crashing the economy was so good for the country.

Obama/Biden 2012

Starsailing: You still believe that childish propaganda BS. To this day there is still no oil pipeline to the US from Iraq so try again. If you remember it was a UN resolution to go after Saddam not an American one. Also the bulk of the money including the food for oil program went to France. It must be nice to have the memory of a goldfish on actually why Iraq was invaded but it certainly was not over oil.

K.Truant.......You are only one of a handful of people that believe your nonsense. The whole world knows. Bush proclaimed before the whole nation that Iraq oil would pay for the war.......Read one of Colin Powells books how he was duped into speaking before the U.N He quit the cabinet because of the lies. Either you are ill informed or you can't do search on ...Bush lied U.S. into war. Bush Cheney gave old intel that was debunked as being false. Dems and repubs had been given false info for years and when checked out before 911 it was proved to be false. Bush Cheney pulled it up anyways and said it was true. Bush/Cheney/Rove outed CIA agent and all people who were in touch with that agent because the agents husband reported back to head quarters there was NO YELLOW CAKE AND NO CAKE PERSUED BY IRAQ! BUSH SR. CALLED THE PEOPLE WHO OUTED AGENT A TRAITOR!

You tried to spin what I wrote. BUSH CHENEY LIED AMERICA and YES, THE WHOLE WORLD INTO WAR! Deal with it!

Romney just hired Bush Cheney economic advisors and foreign advisors.....yeah there they go again. Bush number three on steroids /Romney!

It says the ex-detainee is a SUSPECT in the case, not that they've been convicted or even charged or even questioned for that matter.

Yeah, nice try MSNBC but there's no way we're going to believe that locking people away just because they were Moslems near the vicinity of some minor skirmish is a good thing.

I assure you we would not have released him had we any idea this was the result. Gitmo still has residents and their release is not determined by public opinion.

Guess in this case you guessed wrong huh fly? Just a guess but if he was in Gitmo, there was an "idea" already in place.

So you're saying B&C released this guy because of PUBLIC OPINION? Hell. They were that strong on their own, huh? Easily influenced by Public Opinion. YEP, that sounds like B&C.
That's what happens when trials happen in MILITARY TRIBUNALS instead of in CIVILIAN COURTS.

Fly: why do you think these guys were in Gitmo in the first place, because of a traffic violation? They are just as brainwashed today as they were when they were first caught. They're still hellbent on destruction, chaos and collateral damage. Wake up.

CANADIAN-412215 actually in a lot of cases they were brainwashed while inside gitmo. Watch the movie ROAD TO GUANTANAMO and see what its like after these people leave. The reason they were not put on trial in a civilian court was because they had ZERO evidence or it was all CIA chatter that some guy gave us this intel under torture. The biggest problem with torture is that they will say anything to get it to stop. They probably got the names of hundreds of innocent people that were just named stop them continuing the torture.

Beware exodus as Africa is rising - how many orphans from civil war, famin and AIDS are in schools run by mainline religions. but how many schools/refregee camps have goodwill ambasadors that are quitely indoctronating ruderless youth. These are the future army of the fanatics that we will face.

Yeah, imprisoning people for free expression - probably not a good thing genius.

Now that Bin Ladin is dead they are of no value - empty/close Gitmo; find an island far far away and not with in 100 miles of a shiping lane and put them there. Send food drop via plane and let them dream of the virgins they will never have.

There was never any proposal to close Gitmo and release the prisoners. Obama's proposal was to transfer them to a Supermax facility in Illinois. I didn't agree with that proposal and I don't support Obama, but I do believe that a person should have at least a passing acquaintance with the facts before spouting off.

How do you know if he was or was not interrogated with enhanced methods?

..Oh, he was interrogated by Bulgaria Officials?...or Israeli children...?

Mark, how do you know your wife doesn't sleep with goats? I mean we have all read her posts and her dissatisfaction of your manhood.

I'm looking for that proof too

Wow Adam.. How childish you are.. What is next from you, calling names?

Mark- read "The Black Banners" by Ali Soufan. My magic 8 Ball told me.

Mark, all you have to do is report adam to newsvine for that remark and he will be banned.

Obama wanted to close gizmo and put these terrorist suspects in CIVILIAN SUPERMAX PRISONS, (creating jobs, btw), and try them in CIVILIAN COURT. You know, like the one that convicted Zacharias Moussaoui?

Gitmo is a huge waste of money, This is America we specialize in incarceration. You telling me we couldn't close GITMO and then lose the key in regular jail.

Viewer you can have your sign back. the one that reads 'I don't read, I let others tell me what the words mean thats how I make decisions'.

You can keep the sign.

We have Gitmo becuase we are legally bound to do so.

AND Americans do not want these animals on the mainland.

"We have Gitmo becuase we are legally bound to do so."

I have absolutely no idea what this sentence is supposed to mean. I don't think you do either.

Sounds like you are really here to bible bash instead of say anything of importance. Go back to the sandbox.

I'll simplify it for you: the Sunnis are evil and the Shiites are evil too. Only ones maybe not evil? Sufis and Ba'hais. The Sunnis and Shiites kill them.

THough I see the trouble that is coming and hope it is not for our sake (jobs, lives, home and hearth) I will trully be worried when the dome of the rock is gone and the temple is being rebuilt - until then, it is just humans doing what humans do -

How do you know this guy wasnt helped by Hezbolah? Nothing unites sunnis and shiits like hatred for Israel.

The founding principle of this country is that man is born with certain inalienable rights. The government can not "give" anyone rights. It can only take them away.
