Libya: Former Guantánamo detainee is training rebels

Another moment where reality meets the rabbit hole.  How does the Obama administration justify this?  Especially in light that now we are arming the rebels through the Saudi's.

We are supporting Al-Qaeda.

If this is what we get through Gitmo, I say close it.  We are supposed to be keeping jihadists and Islamists from harmimg us and others, yet we arm them after we release them from Guantanamo Bay.

Madness.

Libya: Former Guantánamo detainee is training rebels 

A former detainee at Guantánamo Bay has taken a leading role in the military opposition to Col Muammar Gaddafi, it has emerged, alongside at least one other former Afghan Mujahideen fighter. 

Rebel recruits in the eastern port city of Derna are being trained by Sufyan Bin Qumu, a Libyan who was arrested following the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, and held at Guantánamo for six years.

Abdel Hakim al-Hasidi, a senior Libyan rebel commander in Derna, was also held following the invasion of Afghanistan and handed over to Libyan custody two months later.

Both men were said to have been released from prison in Libya in 2008 as part of a reconciliation process with Islamists in the country.

You cannot negotiate with Islam.  Period.
