Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a new video featuring a former Guantanamo detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, who is also known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani.
In July 2010, Qosi plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support for terrorism before a military commission. His plea was part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors during his remaining time in US custody. Qosi was transferred to his home country of Sudan two years later, in July 2012.
Via @Allahpundit, who notes that this will likely effectively end any chance of Gitmo getting closed any time soon. I’m not entirely sure that I agree. Not that I think that Gitmo is going to be closed any time soon; simply that I never really thought that the Democrats were ever going to close it in the first place. I mean, what’s in it for them? God knows that most of the antiwar Left have been happily embracing their inner hypocrite with regard to Obama’s style of warfare since, oh, about January 2009 or so; the hardcore few that remain aren’t enough to effect any real change, anyway.
Nonetheless: this guy should have stayed in Club Gitmo for a bit longer. …Duh.
of course he’s working for Al Qaeda… it’s not like he could get a job anyplace else… what was he gonna do, apply at the White House? oh, wait….
Actually one gets the feeling he ought to have spent eternity at Club Earthworm.
More evidence of Obama’s failed jobs program in the Middle East.
