From ABC News:
Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.
This will add fuel to many fires but that’s another post. First, I want to make a quick point: Bear in mind that these two men were released from Gitmo during the Bush administration. I’m willing to bet that when the righties talk about this they’ll leave that fact out of the discussion so their followers will believe Obama released them.

Hey you were the folk who insisted they were innocent and they had to be released, buying into the public relation campaign generated by certain law firms tied to Kuwaiti and Saudi interests
