Vice News<\/a> reports that at least four Guantanamo grads have returned to what they know best. That makes a total of 208 out of 693 detainees (about 30%) who have returned to terrorism or are suspected of returning to their trade according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).<\/p>\n

The ODNI’s report was released shortly before the House of Representatives voted 244-174 in favor of a bill that seeks to prohibit the federal government from using funds to transfer any more detainees out of the detention facility. The White House has already said Obama would veto the legislation.<\/p>\n

Twenty of the remaining 61 Guantanamo detainees have been cleared for transfer to other countries. The Pentagon is expected to move them off of the naval base by the end of the year. The Obama administration has released 32 detainees so far in 2016.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking of Gitmo grads, the fellow in Uruguay, Abu Wael Dhiab<\/a>, who absconded from his supervised release earlier this year is slipping in and out of a coma brought on by his hunger strike because he wants to return to the Middle East. He’s Syrian, but he’s been sentenced to death in that country in absentia because of his terrorist activities, so he can’t be returned home.<\/p>\n

He’s unhappy with his free home and his $500\/month stipend from the Uruguayan government and he misses his friends and family.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Lee Wolosky, the U.S. special envoy for Guantanamo closure, expressed frustration over Dhiab’s actions in Uruguay, noting that Uruguay’s government had been in “very advanced stages” of bringing the former prisoner’s wife and children from Turkey when he left for Venezuela.<\/p>\n

“I think Dhiab has been offered every opportunity by the government of Uruguay to move on with his life and he has disgracefully repudiated the extraordinary hospitality and generosity of the government of Uruguay,” Wolosky said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
