typically? probably not. how many people have been released from guantanamo though? and how many of those have gone on to terrorism?

this is the second confirmed case I've read about (but for all I know there could be many more), and they've released or relocated hundreds of prisoners.

Responses:

the news article suggests more than a couple. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:30 9
- yeah, it said dozens, but offered nothing to back that up. - mafic Jan 23, 07:35 8
  - I know. We really don't know how many. however, it is reasonable to expect that it is many. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:36 7
    - ah, says 61 here. if that's true, out of 420 released I think it just underscores how flawed the system was/is. -- (link) - mafic Jan 23, 07:40 6
      - I'm sure there are more we don't know of. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:41 5
        
        but there's no real point discussing them, is there? -- nm - mafic Jan 23, 07:43 4
        
        well, it's legitimate to be concerned about what's going to happen when the camp closes down. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:44 3
        
        if they're criminals, try them, if they're not, release them - mafic Jan 23, 07:52 1
        
        we've fubared the process. it worries me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:53
