WHILE AMERICA WAS OBSESSING ON THE POPE: Obama Did This

Another Al Qaeda hotshot released from Guantanamo Bay.

[ClashDaily] It's hard to believe you are still living in America sometimes.

[FoxNews] MIAMI -- A Saudi prisoner at Guantanamo who waged a hunger strike for years to protest his confinement has been released from the U.S. base at Cuba, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

Abdul Shalabi was sent back to Saudi Arabia, where he was expected to take part in a rehabilitation program for militants.

His release, the second this month, brings the prisoner population at Guantanamo to 114, including 52 who have been approved for transfer.

Shalabi, 39, was among the first prisoners brought to Guantanamo in January 2002. The U.S. said he had been a bodyguard to Osama bin Laden and an associate of other senior al-Qaida figures, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed. He was never charged with a crime.

Criminals are charged with crimes. Prisoners of war are held until the war is over, then returned to the nation in whose uniform they fought. And spies get courts martial, then are hanged or shot.

#1 W should have made the detentions a lot clearer and had trials for them as spies or pirates when applicable.

Perhaps we don't hang them but make it clear that release depends upon surrender by Al Qaeda. We also should have put them into POW camps similar to the ones the Germans were housed in to ensure nobody could claim racism.

#2 We should have followed the Geneva Convention and had them shot when captured like the Convention allows.
