More Obama naivete: Obama voices concern about freed Guantanamo inmates

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Via Reuters, Barack Obama said in an interview aired on Monday that he worried that detainees freed from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo might resume attacks on the United States:

But he told NBC News that closure of the prison was a matter of upholding U.S. values and law, and that a failure to do so would ultimately make Americans less secure.

"Can we guarantee that they're not going to try to participate in another attack? No," Obama said. "But what I can guarantee is that if we don't uphold our Constitution and our values, that over time that will make us less safe. And that will be a recruitment tool for organizations like al-Qaeda."

Just another example of the left's ridiculous logic that somehow the jihadists life at Gitmo is going to have any effect whatsoever on Islamists that chop off heads and perform all sorts of vile, inhuman torture. And as Dorothy Rabinowitz said in her piece linked to in a previous post, "What moral high ground, exactly, would have enabled us to deter the designs of the religious fanatics in search of martyrdom and the slaughter of as many Americans as possible on September 11?"
