you might find this of intrest as well seems he was given a waver to joing the army even though he had been discharged from the coastguard for pycological reasons

A really excellent post, Ben.  Good research.  

I might add to the section over who these released prisoners are, they were never charged, never tried and never convicted of anything.  If America is that afraid of following its own laws, it suggests that all of these so-called terrorists were innocent Muslims picked up by the previous (Republican) administration, in an attempt to trump up bad guys.  After all, this is the same Republican administration that trumped up WMDs in Iraq, death panels in the Affordable Care Act, and Obama is a Muslim.

Oh, and one report says that one of these detainees was a used car salesman.  Now that is a punishable offense.  Perhaps we'll see him again at Abdul's Previously Owned Gems car lot, in East LA.  That's a possible terrorist threat.
