To bolster his argument that the Guantánamo detainees should be denied the right to prove their innocence in federal courts, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in his dissent in Boumediene v. Bush: "At least 30 of those prisoners hitherto released from Guantánamo have returned to the battlefield." It turns out that statement is false.
...
The largest possible number of detainees who could have "returned to the fight" is 12; however, the Department of Defense has no system for tracking the whereabouts of released detainees. The only one who has undisputedly taken up arms against the United States or its allies, "ISN 220," was released by political officers of the DoD against the recommendations of military officers.

I wake up everyday wondering how things are in Iraq.
If we have to hedge the truth to kill constitutional rights for victory in Iraq, let's do it.
Iraq.
I wonder how many Americans even know where that is on the map?
I wonder if the president knows where Iraq is on a map?
