Leftists who hate Israel can rejoice; their efforts at securing the release of a Gitmo detainee and their subsequent lionizing of him allowed him to murder five Israelis in the bombing Wednesday in Burgas, Bulgarian. The bomber has been identified as Mehdi Ghezali, who was detained at Gitmo Bay in Cuba from 2002 to 2004.
According to Wikileaks documents, Ghazali was “uncooperative, unforthcoming and deceptive during interrogations.†His father had met with Abdolrahman Barzanjee, an Al Qaeda associate and possible Ansar Al-Islam coordinator for Europe (Ansar Al-Islam is a group of Sunni Muslims trying to turn Iraq into an Islamist state), and Ghazali was friends with a Swedish operative who was a close associate of Abu Zubadayah, a high-ranking official with Al Qaeda.
Ghazali, who was a Swedish citizen, was visited by members of the Swedish government frequently while he was in custody at Gitmo, and the Swedish media played up his incarceration. While Ghezali was detained at Gitmo, he was featured in the documentary Gitmo – The New Rules of War, a film that savaged Guantanamo Bay detention camp by film directors Erik Gandini and Tarik Saleh.
In February of 2004, Ghazali was reassessed and regarded as an enemy combatant who had gone to Afghanistan to support the Taliban, but although Gitmo concluded that he was a “medium risk, as he may possibly pose a threat to the US its interests and allies,†the decision to release him to Sweden followed: “Recommendation: JTF Gitmo recommends that this detainee be transferred to the control of another country for continued detention.â€
He was released to Sweden on July 8, 2004. And guess how much he meant to the Swedish? He was flown home to Sweden by the Swedish Air Force on a Gulfstream IV jet, at the expense of the Swedish government.
Ghazali joined a July 4, 2006 demonstration held outside the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden calling for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay facility.
But the liberal Swedes weren’t done with nurturing Ghazali yet. He was arrested in September of 2009 in Punjab, Pakistan, on suspicions of having ties to al-Qaeda; Pakistani police chief Mohammad Rizwan described Ghezali as "a very dangerous man". But the Swedish newspaper The Local described his actions as "a harmless meeting with a Muslim revivalist movement, Tablighi Jamaat."
One month later, Ghezali was released to Sweden. The Swedish Ambassador even accompanied him on the flight home.
With all the help Ghezali received from the liberal media and liberal governments, it’s obvious they have blood on their hands. But the blood is Israeli, so don’t expect the Left to shed a single tear.

Wars have been fought over less significant events than this.
The terrorist was released on GWB's watch, which ain't good. More Bush bashing will ensue, that's for sure.
The coddling that the Swedes heap onto their 3rd world terrorist buddies in the name of liberalism is what Barry is trying to emulate.

85% of the rapes in Sweden are committed by Muslims...this was just another form of Islamic rape.

Perhaps while Holder is under oath over Fast and Furious he should be asked about whether or not his law firm or any of the nine lawyers working at Justice now who were doing pro bono work for detainees had anything to do with this idiot getting released back in 2004.

While our press is portraying this as an unprovoked attack against Israel out of the blue, that is not really true. The Israelis have been conducting covert ops, including assassinations, against the Iranian nuke program and its personnel for the past couple of years, for which the Iranians certainly did promise reprisals, one of which has apparently been delivered. The jihadis are perfectly fine with targetting completely uninvolved Israeli tourists, since the Israel nuke program personnel are far too hard a target for them to hit. Then again maybe there was some particular person in that group of tourists that they were intentionally trying for, or thought they were trying for, we'll likely never know on that one.
Thanks to leaks from President Obama's supporters who want to make him out to be a foreign policy badass, we recently found out in open sources that the US was also actively involved in the cyberwar part of it, which paints a target on the backs of our own overseas citizens.
