So you believe the Office of the Director of National Intelligence over Trump's tweets?

I have no knowledge of gitmo prisoner releases other than what I've read in this thread. Jim gave a number close to 200 released by Obama and tyrod said he may be right.

Does this debate over number released hinge on the definition of "vicious"?

I'm weird that way.

I figured the story about the Navy Corpseman killed by these terrorists in our 57th state while having his hands up yelling "don't shoot" would have you more upset .

Basically. The prisoners released by Bush have had more time to reengage in terrorism also.

Of course you don't. Does it surprise you that you don't? Are you more pessimistic than you have been the last 8 years?

see my other message where i reference couple of articles....i posted initially while excerising and should have included.

There's no ambiguity here. Trump saw a report on Fox News [sic] or their Twiiter:


And Mr. Brilliant came up with his own tweet:


And the quote I gave was taken from a table provided by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence:

yes ....pretty bummed for you and others

Ken, give up. It is impossible to argue with these people. They are so determined to parse the Orange Foolius tweets that they give up reason and thought.

But, only 1/3 of them have been re-captured back in the battle/terror field, so that 197 is really only 59.

Garbage in = garbage out.

"According to the office of the director of national intelligence, of the 693 former Guantánamo Bay detainees who were transferred to other countries in the entire 15-year period since the Bush administration opened the wartime prison in January 2002, 122 are “confirmed” to have engaged in militant activity after their release.


However, the overwhelming majority of those 122 men — 113 of them — were transferred under President George W. Bush, not President Barack Obama.


Most of the former Guantánamo detainees in the world departed the prison under Mr. Bush: 532 of the 693 former detainees who left the prison alive departed under Mr. Bush."


693 - 532 = 161 detainees released by Obama.

161 < 532 if you are looking for a comparison of who released the most detainees.

Of course, I don't think there's much love lost between Trump and Bush these days either.

Can I play klehner for this reply?

Trump tweeted released. The report claims transferred.

Hey, I'm only playing the role. :-)

And I should care why?

Before you respond, consider that I don't care much what the guy says, only what he does. Also my belief is that he is intentionally sloppy with his facts as he has observed how that sets a large portion of his opposition into a tizzy chasing the rabbits he has tweeted.

I spent many years in the environmental regulation field. I'm just hoping for an informed thread on what the EPA Administrator is up to. Dreaming, I know, but I'd settle just for a thread.
