61 Detainees Released From Guantanamo Bay Have Rejoined The Jihad

The Associated Press reports that "the Pentagon says the number of Guantanamo Bay detainees who rejoined terrorist missions after being released is on the rise. Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Tuesday that 61 detainees are believed as of last month to have returned to the fight against the United States since being released."

Meanwhile, the AP also reports that "President-elect Barack Obama is preparing to issue an executive order his first week in office — and perhaps his first day — to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, according to two presidential transition team advisers." This begs a very important question that Obama must answer. If Guantanamo is closed down, what is he going to do with all the enemy commbatants being held there?
