Special forces team in to rescue him or something like that, that s one thing. but tragdz five of among the biggest enemies of the united states and by the way we are getting reports that at least three of them are starting their kind of preconfinement activities again. you know the thing that bothers me one of the things that bothers me about the five that were released they were to be monitored by qatar for a year. the thing is they weren t being released being quote, transferred. that was the biggest. i will tell you that was pulling a fast one on the american people. because, i mean, they are going to be totally free in may. at the end of may. they can do whatever they want. i believe they can now. at the can walk out of qatar. they are not going back as people in gitmo. they are going back as spiritual leaders to the whole resistance of the united states to the afghan government. they were in guantanamo bay. i was in guantanamo bay a few months ago. and the president is so eag ....
