These guys are going to a rehabilitation program set up to help transition jihadists back into society.
Batch 10, the tenth batch of former Saudi captives to be repatriated to Saudi Arabian custody is an example of how flawed this effort is. Five of the fourteen captives in this group repatriated to Saudi captivity on November 9, 2007 were among the eleven former Guantanamo captives to be listed on the 85 men on the Saudi list of most wanted suspected terrorists, published on February 3, 2009. One of them, Said Ali al-Shihri, became second in command of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. We're talking 13% of the most wanted coming from GITMO. al Qaeda has tried to kill Prince Muhammad Bin Naif Bin Abdul Aziz, who is the Saudi deputy interior minister and oversees the Kingdom’s counter terrorism efforts a number of times. While the third attempt was close when a guy packed his ass full of explosives the fourth is the most interesting as it involves a former GITMO detainee, Yusuf Al-Shehri. The good news is Al-Shehri was killed in a shootout with Saudi security forces at a checkpoint on the Yemen border. All I can say is the Saudis are idiots.

Terrorist? kinda doubt that, Were they charged? Just non kosher combatants in a war theater. In a Normal War theater/situation they would be considered POWs or Partisans. Glad to get that Hunger Striker off our Hands. Better he starves himself to death in Saudi Arabia make them look bad.
