Is Obama Playing Games With Gitmo? And the American People?

Obama issued an Executive Order claiming he's going to shut down Gitmo, the prison for terrorists at Guantanamo. This has satisfied those who think we should be kind to terrorists, hold their hands, and tell them, "Be good boys. Don't do that again."


Now more figures and facts are coming to light that previously released terrorists have rejoined the ranks of the terrorist groups. One, known as Said Ali Al-Shihri, has been officially confirmed, by the Pentagon as a deputy commander of Al Qaeda in Yemen. He's also suspected of being involved this past September in a failed attack on the U.S. embassy in Yemen.

This raises some questions:

• Did Obama know about this and other released terrorists who rejoined their groups, before issuing his Executive Order. As such, he can renege on the date for release...drag it out so he is satisfying those who want Gitmo closed and those who stress the danger of dispersing the prisoners.
• If Obama wasn't briefed about these terrorists who rejoin and reemerge in terrorist groups (and this seems unlikely given his "presidential" demeanor before the Inauguration), will this give him a reason to delay the shut down, again trying to satisfy both sides?
• Will Obama go ahead and release known terrorists throughout the world and "let the cards fall where they will?" At present, not too many countries seem to want the terrorists, except their fellow terrorists.
• Does Obama plan to release known terrorists and is in league with terrorist groups who could strike our interests around the world and even our own country?

Food for thought!
