The U.S. will not transfer any detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Yemen right now, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday. Ninety detainees in Gitmo are from Yemen, which is combating a resurgent Al Qaeda. A delayed return could mean they will end up in a federal prison in Thomson, Illinois, Gibbs said. "One of the very first things Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula used as a tool was Gitmo," Gibbs said. "We're not going to make transfers to a country like Yemen that they're not capable of handling (the detainees). While we remain committed to closing the detention facility, the determination has been made that right now any additional transfers to Yemen is not a good idea."http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/01/05/suspend-gitmo-detainee-transfers-yemen/
The Obama administration finally noticed that Guantanamo detainees released to Yemen rejoin the terrorist movement.
Why did a nobody like me figure this out months before the White House geniuses?
