Oops... here comes the silence...

Like a dog that poops in the park and simply walks away.

 

[Godboy]

So? At the time he was awarded that judgement, was he illegally detained and mistreated or not?

Whatever he went on to do later is irrelevent.

Would you feel the same if he had been a Christian?

Pretty much. If the government framed him for a crime he didn't commit and violated his civil rights, he'd have a valid complaint.

Cute story. Do you have anything to say that isn't completely made up?

Would be nice to see a little humility... "Oops, my mistake"

Another 'Successful' Obama Terrorist 'Catch and Release' Program story...
"An Islamic State fighter who carried out a suicide attack against an army base in Iraq this week was a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who was released in 2004 and given $1.2 million in government funds in compensation after his release.
Ronald Fiddler, who converted to Islam in his 20s to become Jamal al-Harith, is a British ISIS fighter who smiled for the camera before bombing coalition forces in Mosul."

Wow just wow. I hope this isn't true

Don't worry, nothing from Tucker Carlson's DailyLiar fake news is ever true.

 

[shockedcanadian]

He was awarded over a million dollars and still remained radicalized in the worst way, becoming a suicide bomber. What of the money he was given? Was it used to support others like himself?

As some have noted, many of these guys are too far gone to be reintroduced to normal society.


ISIL suicide bomber identified as former Guantanamo detainee awarded $1.25M compensation

LONDON — A British ISIL fighter who carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq this week is a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who was paid US$1.25 million compensation by the government.

Jamal al-Harith, 50, a Muslim convert born Ronald Fiddler, detonated a car bomb at an Iraqi army base near Mosul, causing an unverified number of casualties.

He had been released from the US detention camp in 2004 and successfully claimed compensation after saying British agents knew of — or were complicit in — his mistreatment.

He was freed following intense lobbying by Tony Blair’s Labour government.

Al-Harith, who used the nom de guerre Abu-Zakariya al-Britani, entered Syria via Turkey in 2014 to join Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, leading to questions about the monitoring of terrorist suspects.

It also raised the possibility that he had handed on to ISIL the compensation paid by British taxpayers.

Earlier this week, ISIL named him as the army base bomber and released an image of him sitting inside the “bomb car” grinning broadly, with wires and what may be a detonation button in the background.

More blood on obama's hands, but his crazed followers can't or won't see it.

Actually blood on Trump's hands, because like Obama, Trump was also an imaginary president in 2004 while Bush was never actually president during his 2 terms.

 

[edthecynic]

Now, if he was released in 2004, that is on Jr., not Obama, because Obama hadn't even started to consider running yet.

NO, no no, in Right-wing alt-facts world, the 2004 Chicago State Senator's shadow government of the deep state was more powerful than Bush, just like it is now more powerful that Tramp and all of Tramp's failures will be Obama's fault too.

Go back and read the original story. He was detained by allied forces and paid a settlement for mistreatment at their hands. Have someone help you with the big words if you are having a hard time.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The British government lobbied and pled with the Bush administration to return him to their country. If anyone is to blame, it would be Great Britain.

So why is the moron who wrote the O/P blaming Obama???

Where did I blame Obama, moron ?

 

[Political Junky]

The US has known for years that Gitmo is a great propaganda for the terrorists. The Right pretends it's not true so they'll get the Alt-Right vote. This bombing further proves that.

Also received compensation from the British government.


British man who launched Isil suicide attack was Guantanamo Bay detainee awarded £1m compensation

ABritish Islamic State fighter who carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq this week is a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who was paid £1 million compensation by the government.

Jamal al-Harith, a Muslim convert born Ronald Fiddler who detonated a car bomb at an Iraqi army base near Mosul, was released from the US detention camp in 2004 and successfully claimed compensation after saying British agents knew or were complicit in his mistreatment.

He was freed following intense lobbying by Tony Blair’s Labour government.

So, was he so radical, or did the US and UK govt's annoy him so much that he was willing to die?

If we capture people and then torture them is it really a surprise that they join our enemies when released?

Seems like there are only 3 possible solutions. Murder them when we can't get any more info, hold them in jail until they die, or stop torture and focus on rehab. Thoughts?

This thread was combined with another thread where the OP of that thread blamed Obama.

If you really believe that GITMO is any sort of propaganda or recruitment tool for Islamic terrorists you are more than a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Do you really think that someone capable of this would need a luxurious prison, in Cuba with prayer mats, times, million dollar soccer field and more to recruit other barbarians?

Why weren't charges brought and why did the brittish government let him go?

The British government lobbied and pled with the Bush administration to return him to their country. If anyone is to blame, it would be Great Britain.

The formerly Great Britain. In our time, it is known as the Ewe Qae.

Because he belongs to the cult that hates Obama enough to allow justify lying and or being uninformed and stupid.

Fourth option. Stop invading their countries, stop letting the Jews and the Oil Companies dictate policy.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

Obama should be arrested for accomplice to murder.

Maybe they should have arrested Reagan for arming Bin Laden to start with.

That doesn't address the problem of captured prisoners of war and suspected terrorists. It may reduce the amount we capture but they will still exist. So what do we do with them?
