Yemen al-Qaeda leader threatens US

From the "If you're not concerned, you're not paying attention" department:

Of VERY special interest is this part:

"Elshari was released in 2007 from the US Navy's detention centre in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to his native Saudi Arabia.

There he graduated from a "rehabilitation" programme before fleeing the country to join anti-government fighters in Yemen.

He quickly rose to become al-Qaeda's second-in-command in the Arabian Peninsula."

We had him. We let him go. I have no further comment for polite company.
