Mashur Abdallah Ahmed al Sabri,one of the members of the USS Cole cell, has already been released by Barack Obama from Guantanamo Bay.
Sabri was rated as a high risk terrorist who is ”is likely to pose a threat to the US, its interests, and allies”, but that was no obstacle for Obama who had already fired one Secretary of Defense for being slow to free dangerous Al Qaeda terrorists and was browbeating his latest appointee over the same issue.
The very paperwork that was used as the basis for the decision to free Sabri describes him as “a member of a Yemeni al-Qaida cell directly involved with the USS Cole attack”. This cell “conducted surveillance” on the targeted vessel and “prepared explosives for the bombing”. Sabri had been arrested in Yemen for his involvement in the attack before he managed to make his way to Afghanistan.

So the terrorist and his lawyers contest the accusations . Surprised I am.
plus the NYT says some of the allegations have been " undercut by other evidence"but for some reason does not offer any examples of it.
So DOD calls this terrorist a "HIGH RISK" likely to pose a threat to US its interests and allies. Did this carry no weight with BO? Why release him? Think of his propaganda value to AlQ ISIS etc . Think how the loved ones of the victims feel?
