Kathleen McKinley quoting from ABC News that the would-be terrorist on Christmas was trained in Yemen by two former Gitmo prisoners that we released to be rehabilitated!

Yup... let's close Gitmo and make the radicals love and appreciate the good ol' US... OH... and bring them to American soil to stand trial in one of our civilian courts...

Our leadership is deranged... the mounting evidence speaks for itself.

ABC News finally doing it's job

Two al Qaeda Leaders Behind Northwest Flight 253 Terror Plot Were Released by U.S.... Former Guantanamo Prisoners Believed Behind Northwest Airlines Bomb Plot; Sent to Saudi Arabia in 2007
By BRIAN ROSS, ANNA SCHECTER and JOSEPH RHEE, Dec. 28, 2009

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.

Guantanamo prisoner #333, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi, and prisoner #372, Said Ali Shari, were sent to Saudi Arabia on Nov. 9, 2007, according to the Defense Department log of detainees who were released from American custody. Al-Harbi has since changed his name to Muhamad al-Awfi.

Both Saudi nationals have since emerged in leadership roles in Yemen, according to U.S. officials and the men's own statements on al Qaeda propaganda tapes.

Both of the former Guantanamo detainees are described as military commanders and appear on a January, 2009 video along with the man described as the top leader of al Qaeda in Yemen, Abu Basir Naser al-Wahishi, formerly Osama bin Laden's personal secretary.....

There needs to be a little true global warming in Washington... the heat of a scrutinizing American public fed up with Washington's miserably failed attempt at the appeasement of radicals.

Washington needs to learn that radicals... are radicals... as a rabid dog is... rabid.

Now... how does one deal with a rabid dog...
