Two of Al Qaeda's former explosives experts were just transferred out of Guantanamo Bay and sent to Senegal, the Defense Department confirmed Monday, marking the latest detainees to be shipped out of the prison camp despite the risk they could return to the battlefield.
The two Libyan former detainees were separately listed as threats to U.S. interests in Department of Defense documents obtained by Wikileaks and The New York Times.
The news comes as senators prepare to introduce legislation to permanently block transfers of Guantanamo detainees to terror hot spots and state sponsors of terrorism including Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Iran and Sudan. Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., was expected to introduce a bill as early as Monday, Fox News has learned.

Why is Obama bent on teeing up these guys to do harm to us? How many times do these decisions have to bite us in the ass before he learns?

First off, how many times has it bitten "us in the ass?"
Secondly, do you have any evidence to support the notion that these individuals will be allowed to run free once they reach Senegal?
Third, do you have any other solution other than keeping individuals locked up forever without a trial?

Boko Haram and al Quaeda are on Senegal's doorstep. France intelligence has warned them.
Don't care about the "rights" of terrorists pulled from the battlefield in a raid.

Oh the uninformed.
First, the prisoners are NOT being released. They are being transferred to the custody of another country to be either legally incarcerated or legally under house arrest with strict restrictions on where, when and who they can meet.
Second, despite the outdated information provided on the Fox story (big surprise) the release of these detainees has been approved by the Pentagon, DIA, CIA as well as several other agencies.
I know, I know there is big conspiracy involving all these government agencies to release terrorist with no restrictions right??????
Why is the right almost always wrong?

"Warned them" of what? "Warned" who?France intelligence has warned them.
Of course you dont.Don't care about the "rights" of terrorists pulled from the battlefield in a raid.

Senegal is hardly a shining example of stability and security. If said prisoners were to escape, they would have more than one place they could shelter. Not to mention the close proximity to the home turf of other Islamic radical groups.
Versus being held in a major US base in a friggin island. There's nowhere to go even if the prisoners did escape. The Cubans would shoot them if we didn't.

Again, the procedure for procuring countries for transfer of Gitmo detainees requires certain minimum security protocols. That is one of the main reasons it takes so long to get countries to accept them. That being said each detainee has been reviewed by no fewer than 6 different agencies and all of them have to sign off on transfer. The worst assessments of recidivism by former Gitmo detainees is 6% since President Obama took office. The actual numbers are 7 confirmed returned to terrorism and an additional 5 are suspected for a grand total of 12. The detainees released by President Bush that have returned is approximately 111 with another 81 suspected. The fact is that the Obama administration has been exceedingly careful in transferring and or releasing Gitmo detainees compared with the previous administration. And of the approximately total over 190 expected recidivist all but handful (approximately 10-15) have either been recaptured and jailed or killed. The danger of releasing and/or transferring the detainees has been grossly over blown by the right wing noise machine. There is very little to no danger from the detainees being transferred under President Obama. That is the fact regardless of what the wrong, I mean, right wing media says.
So instead of continuing to careful select who to release and who to keep at Gitmo, you want to risk screwing up a system---which by your own admission is working, more or less---in favor of just letting everybody go, basically?
Hard to wage a jihad on an island. Much easier where your on the mainland and there's lots of room to run.
What are you talking about? Please quote where I stated to let everyone go? You are talking nonsense.
Letting everybody go..... From a highly secure location to one where it is easier to escape and they have the potential to do more damage once they do escape

What people don't realize is that Gitmo is one big bait and switch from the fact that, through our allies, we have other detention centers all over the world. The detainees will just go somewhere else so that the human rights travesty can continue.
The worst human rights violators on the planet are Muslims but something tells me you have never once made a post condemning those travesties, these Islamic Imperialist pigs are being afforded all the human rights they are entitled to and some which they aren't; such as, being served Halal food and having access to lawyers.
