Those killers have now been tied to more than 100 terrorist plots or attacks against Western countries, an unprecedented wave of terror. And former Gitmo detainees are eagerly joining ISIS’s ranks, in addition to re-enlisting with al Qaeda. Still the White House sees Gitmo detainees as victims of a war on terror that went too far—relics of Bush Administration heavy-handedness—who should be reintegrated into society.... The result is that we have telegraphed weakness to our enemies and put America and our allies in greater danger. If we want to prevail over the evil of Islamist terror, we need to keep Guantanamo Bay open, its jail cells closed, and the landing strip ready to welcome new inmates. So for the sake of our national security, let’s hope the next president is more focused on winning this war than trying to find new homes for jihadists. ;
