As President Obama pushes for the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison, the debate over where to house the terror detainees being held there is heating up. An exclusive video of a former Gitmo detainee's martyrdom tape, obtained by FOX News, is a reminder of the concerns that terror suspects — who have been held but released from Guantanamo Bay — are increasingly returning to the fight against the United States and its allies. Abdallah Ali al-Ajmi was transferred back to his home country of Kuwait after his release from Guantanamo in 2005. Last April he blew himself up in a homicide attack that killed 12 people in Mosul, Iraq. Al-Ajmi, known in Guantanamo as Detainee 220, made his martyrdom tape before the attack. "In the name of Allah, most compassionate, most merciful and prayers and peace be upon our Prophet," al-Ajmi says in the video. "I thank Allah, Lord of the Worlds, who freed me from Guantanamo prison and, after we were tortured, connected me with the Islamic State of Iraq [ISI]. And it is the gift of Allah to follow the path of this nation, the ISI." In the video, translated by the NEFA Foundation, a non-profit that tracks terror groups, al-Ajmi mentions Guantanamo Bay right away. For many jihadists, having served time at Guantanamo is seen as a badge of honor. Al-Ajmi's attack is one of the most well known and well documented cases of an ex-Gitmo detainee returning to the battlefield as a homicide bomber. His video renews concerns of many in the intelligence community of the potential consequences by releasing these prisoners. Sixty-two detainees released from the U.S. Navy base prison in Cuba are believed to have rejoined the fight, said Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell, citing data from December. That's up from 37 as of March 2008, Morrell said. The new figures come as President-elect Barack Obama issued an executive order last week to close the controversial prison. It's unlikely, however, that the Guantanamo detention facility will be closed anytime soon as Obama weighs what to do with the estimated 250 Al Qaeda, Taliban or other foreign fighter suspects still there. I think that Mr. Obama has bitten off more than he can chew. What was he thinking when he decided to halt the trials and close gitmo? These prisoners were not picked out of thin air. They were there for a reason. Because they are terrorists and they are bent on destroying our country as we know it.

Jeremiah Wright the racist
Only after these sermons hit the airwaves did Mr. Obama disown his church of 20 years. Mr. wright is a racist and Mr. Obama has been a member for the better part of his life. How can we possibly believe that Mr. Obama does not buy into his word. Unbelievable that he is getting a free pass on this.
3 days after saying that he had no intention of leaving the church, Mr. Obama disowned his church. Also Oprah Winfrey told A news magazine that she left the church in the 80's because Mr. wright was a racist and she did not buy into what he was preaching. So if Oprah heard this in the 80's how come Mr. Obama was not hearing the same sermons. Or did he only show 46% of the time, same as he showed up to vote in the Illinois Senate. You Mr. Obama are a liar.
This is the racist that Obama called his friend and spiritual advisor for 20 years. he is a racist and he hates America.
Need I say more?
