Commander-in-Chief (CINC) Trump: Can't Get Gitmo Detainee Release Data Right

Smartest Man Ever; Best Education; Best Vocabulary;

(And can't even count)


Quick background review for this post: Apparently Mr. Trump thinks no one does research except him - here is short video:

A simple mistake or another lie added to 3,000 lies to date?
(The answer is simple)


MIAMI (AP) via Talking Points Memo here — The Pentagon says a prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention center has been sent to his native Saudi Arabia to serve out the remainder of his sentence.

His name is Ahmed al-Darbi and he is the first prisoner to leave Gitmo since President Trump took office.

Al-Darbi is returning to Saudi Arabia as part of plea deal. He pleaded guilty before a military commission in 2014 to charges stemming from an attack on a French oil tanker and he has about nine years left to serve.

The U.S. agreed to send him to a Saudi rehabilitation program in exchange for what prosecutors say was “invaluable” testimony against other prisoners held at Guantanamo.

(More on the al-Darbi's value later, I suspect as details are known, so stay tuned for any updates. I will provide updates).

The Pentagon announced his transfer Wednesday. There are now 40 men still held at Guantanamo.
