Yeah and some of those innocents that we let out...
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_23-10-2004_pg7_54WASHINGTON: About 10 former detainees have rejoined the fight against US forces after being released from a US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in the belief they no longer posed a threat, Pentagon officials said on Friday.
Some have been recaptured, others reportedly killed and an unknown number remain at large, the officials said.
“From the beginning, we have recognized that there are inherent risks in determining when an individual detainee no longer had to be held at GTMO and that the assessment process is not risk free,” said Lieutenant Commander Alvin Plexico, using the military acronym for Guantanamo.
They include an Afghan teenager who was a minor at the time of his first capture in the wake of US-led offensive that toppled the Taliban regime, a Pentagon official said, asking not to be identified. He and two other minors captured in Afghanistan were separated from other inmates at Guantanamo and schooled in English and other subjects until their release in January.
But rather than reintegrate to Afghan society as US officials had hoped, he rejoined the Taliban.
“He was recaptured participating in an attack” near Kandahar, the official said. “At the time of his recapture he was carrying a letter confirming his status as a Taliban in good standing.”

Abdullah Mehsud photographed in 2004
Abdullah Mehsud killed himself with a hand grenade after he was cornered by troops at a house in the south-western Pakistani town of Zhob. He was wanted for the kidnapping of two Chinese engineers in 2004.
Yup great guys..all innocent ........we're idiots and let em go
"My information is that (he) killed himself," said Atta Mohammed, the head of the police in Zhob. "Thanks be to God that only he was blown up and our men were safe."
Mehsud, 32, was released from the US detention centre in Cuba after two years in 2004 but immediately went back to violence when the Pakistani government began an offensive against the Taliban in the troubled region along the border with Afghanistan.
