Gitmo prison closure hampered by freed detainee's turn to IS

WASHINGTON (AP) -- During six years behind bars at Guantanamo Bay, Abdul Rauf insisted he was a lowly Taliban foot soldier who delivered bread and tea to combatants, even though he was really a corps commander. He was released in 2007 and sent home to Afghanistan. Until this week, he was working as the top recruiter in Afghanistan for Islamic State militants.

[EDITORIAL COMMENT:- Although it's going to be pretty hard to do so, I have absolute confidence that a significant number of people are going to blame President Obama for releasing this man - and also that a significant number of people are going to mindlessly repeat that accusation. I mean, after all, wasn't Barack HUSSEIN Obama the President of the United States of America (despite the fact that he was a Muslim born in Kenya) who released Mr. Rauf?]

Can we just pull out our guys and drop a bomb on it and call it closed?

As safe as adopting a rabid dog. If they were not radical before, they are now.
