In what is sparking outrage on social media, Joe Biden just released 11 Yemeni terrorists from GITMO today, who were all part of Al Qaeda when they are arrested in the aftermath of the horrific attacks 9/11 that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
Here’s the news from NPR:
In the most dramatic step in years to reduce the population at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, the Biden administration has transferred 11 Yemeni detainees to Oman, which has agreed to help resettle them and provide security monitoring.
All of the men, who were captured in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, had been held for more than two decades without being charged or put on trial. All of them were approved for transfer by national security officials more than two years ago and sometimes long before that — one had been cleared for transfer since 2010 — yet had remained behind bars due to political and diplomatic factors.
Their release leaves just 15 prisoners at Guantánamo, cutting the number of inmates nearly in half.
Monday’s transfers were originally scheduled to happen in October 2023, but were halted at the last minute due to concerns in Congress about instability in the Middle East following the Hamas attack on Israel.
That the plan was resurrected during President Biden’s final two weeks in office signals a last-ditch effort by his administration to shrink Guantánamo’s prisoner population and get closer to his goal of trying to close the facility. In recent weeks, the U.S. has transferred four other Guantánamo inmates — a Kenyan, a Tunisian and two Malaysians — and is preparing for the transfer of at least one more, an Iraqi.
That flurry of activity is motivated by the assumption that Guantánamo transfers may stop once Donald Trump returns to the White House. Trump previously vowed to keep Guantánamo open and “load it up with some bad dudes,” although he did not send any prisoners there. Despite its late push, the Biden administration is unlikely to be able to close Guantanamo’s prison and court before Trump takes office.
The transfer of the 11 Yemenis was the result of lengthy and complicated diplomatic negotiations. They had remained imprisoned despite being eligible for release because they were legally prohibited from returning to Yemen, a failed state deemed highly unstable. That meant the U.S. faced the complex challenge of finding another country or countries to take them. Oman, a U.S. ally, has accepted at least 30 other Guantánamo prisoners in the past.
According to U.S. Defense Department records, all the Yemeni men are former al-Qaeda members, although many of them dispute the U.S. accounts of their backgrounds.
Every one of these terrorists are going to be HEROES in the Middle East and will undoubtedly return to the battlefield. And they are doing this all because they know Trump won’t do it.
The murders of Americans at the hands of these terrorists will no doubt be another part of Joe’s despicable legacy.
