Excellent post.[Hows that projected release of 500 more of these guys onto the world stage going, BTW? True to Barack Obama's own words, Mr Ghezali's success at his latest and last endeavor wasnt really of his own making, it was all the United States Government's, George Bush's and the US Army's fault for interring him under such dreadful conditions. Had it not been for them he could have been out doing his God's work that much earlier.]
"Breitbart’s Big Peace has the story. You should read it all, but briefly, Mehdi Ghezali is an Islamic radical who was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay from 2002 to 2004. He is a Swedish citizen, and his detention became a cause celebre on the left. Swedish government officials visited him frequently, according to Big Peace, while he was at Gitmo, and Swedish newspapers campaigned for his release. He was the star of a documentary film called Gitmo–The New Rules of War. In July 2004, Ghezali was released to Swedish custody. Viewed as a hero in his home country, he was flown home by the Swedish Air Force on a Gulfstream IV jet.
Ghezali turned up in Pakistan in September 2009, arrested because he had ties to al Qaeda. He was called “a very dangerous man” by a Pakistani police chief, but a leading Swedish newspaper described his contacts with a “Muslim revivalist movement” as “harmless.” Again, Ghezali was released into Swedish custody. This time he was escorted home by the Swedish Ambassador.
So Ghezali may or may not be the Burgas homicide bomber. Apart from the Bulgarian newspaper report, these photographs suggest that Ghezali may indeed be the culprit. This is Mehdi Ghezali, on the right:
Is that a picture of Ghezali? It sure looks like him; admittedly, the resemblance is mostly in the hair, the tall, skinny frame and the baseball cap. The photos can’t be termed definitive. But I would say that if the guy on CCTV isn’t Mehdi Ghezali, he is doing a remarkably good imitation"

Nobody should be cut loose until the war on terror is done.

This is the part where the usual lib suspects start demanding proof beyond a reasonable doubt, etc.
Even after the 9/11 Commission Report, these die hards still like to conflate mere criminality with terrorism.
