| 2014-01-08 |
| [WashingtonPost] U.S. officials suspect that a former Guantanamo Bay detainee played a role in the attack on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya, and are planning to designate the group he leads as a foreign terrorist organization, according to officials familiar with the plans. Militiamen under the command of Abu Sufian bin Qumu, the leader of Ansar al-Sharia in the Libyan city of Darnah, participated in the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, U.S. officials said. |

| #6 The catch and release program didn't work? Color me surprised (sarc). This guy was released in 2007 by the U.S. to Libya. Libya released him in 2008. |

| #4 US officials who don't read the NYT? Inconceivable! Combine this with the Gates book and 0 is losing the message discipline so characteristic of leftists. Could be a rough 3 years if Petraeus and McChrystal decide to make some money. Or Mattis could go on a speaking tour. |

| #3 Ring me up when someone discovers [and has hard evidence] that Abu Sufian bin Qumu and a host of other GITMO alum, were actually on the Klingon payroll. Ho Chi Minh: In 1941, Ho returned to Vietnam to lead the Viet Minh independence movement. The "men in black" were a 10,000 member guerrilla force that operated with the Viet Minh.[26] He oversaw many successful military actions against the Vichy French and Japanese occupation of Vietnam during World War II, supported closely but clandestinely by the United States Office of Strategic Services, and later against the French bid to reoccupy the country (1946–54). He was jailed in China by Chiang Kai-shek's local authorities before being rescued by Chinese Communists.[27] Following his release in 1943, he returned to Vietnam. In April 1945 Ho met with the OSS agent Archimedes Patti and offered to provide intelligence to the allies provided that he could have "a line of communication with the allies." [28] The OSS agreed to this and later sent a military team of OSS members to train Ho's men and Ho himself was treated for malaria and dysentery by an OSS doctor.[29] |

| #1 He has a “long-term association with Islamic extremist jihad and members of al-Qaida and other extremist groups,” according to the military files. “Detainee’s alias is found on a list of probable al-Qaida personnel receiving monthly stipends.” "Stipends" from whom ? |
