#1 He said the released suspects will be monitored by moderate Muslim clerics as well as security forces.

Phew! I was worried for a second there...

#2 Yemen is reportedly releasing 100 suspected sympathizers of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden because they have repented and renounced violence.

#3 Is this some sort of Ramadan amnesty? Egypt just sprung a few dozen as well.

#4 I think they call it sending in the reserves.

#5 Yemen and Egypt, like France, are not really with us on this WOT thing.

#6 This does, however, clear up the issue of how half the population of Yemen seems to be tied in some capacity or another to the U.S.S. Cole bombing. It's really just the same couple hundred guys ... they just keep getting released.

#7 Did the Yemeni government pay for their tickets to Iraq as well?

#8 Lol! When it comes to physical bodies to play the jihadi game, Yemen, dear friends, is the core of the onion.

Extend that 40KM strip southward till you hit seawater... MOAB the rest.

#9 (/sarcasm on/) Now, now, Onionman, how do we know they didn't just release them (much like Egypt just releasing a bunch of Islamic Brotherhood) for them to go to Yasser's burial? (/sarcasm off/). All joking aside, I hope they head right to Fallujah! Maybe we could nominate a "moderate imam" or two to "watch" these guys in Fallujah, eh? Hey, I'd rather them face the marines in Fallujah than I would see them running around free in Yemen to wreak havoc there, like the USS Cole.

#10 "HITCHIKERS MAY BE ESCAPING INMATES"

And if you'd seen those inmates, you'd want to be escaping them, too.

#11 I've seen a similar sign on the highway in NV between Carson Sity and Silver Lake

#12 BA, if we make it an exploding moderate imam to watch them, you have my vote.
