Who released him?

Bomber's Martyrdom Tape Renews Fears Over Consequences of Closing Gitmo
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,483764,00.html

Abdallah Ali al-Ajmi was transferred back to his home country of Kuwait after his release from Guantanamo in 2005. Last April he blew himself up in a homicide attack that killed 12 people in Mosul, Iraq.

Al-Ajmi, known in Guantanamo as Detainee 220, made his martyrdom tape before the attack.

In the video, translated by the NEFA Foundation, a non-profit that tracks terror groups, al-Ajmi mentions Guantanamo Bay right away. For many jihadists, having served time at Guantanamo is seen as a badge of honor.

Al-Ajmi's attack is one of the most well known and well documented cases of an ex-Gitmo detainee returning to the battlefield as a homicide bomber. His video renews concerns of many in the intelligence community of the potential consequences by releasing these prisoners.

It's the closure of GITMO that's caused the revisiting. Biden's been chatting about what's to be done with the relatively few that are left there.

CBS: Guantanamo Detainees In Limbo
Biden Says Prisoners Won't Be Released in U.S., But Uncertainty Colors Prospects For Closure ... or Justice

(Scroll down about twenty or so paragraphs, and you come to this)

...Most troublesome are cases like Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi, a Kuwaiti released in 2005 who two years later killed 13 Iraqi soldiers in a suicide bombing in Mosul; or Ali al-Shihri, a detainee who was deported back to Saudi Arabia in 2007. After the Saudis released him, Al-Shihri emerged as the deputy leader of al Qaeda's branch in bordering Yemen.

if it were up to him, Gitmo would be a one way ticket for everyone, regardless of guilt or circumstances. He'd have built a new wing on it just for journalists he was spying on.

...just like it doesn't matter on whose watch 9/11 happened.

I mean, C'MON! GWB Kept Us Safe For 7 Whole Years Dammit, and Don't You Fergit It!!!
