Man labeled “20th hijacker” repatriated
The Department of Defense announces the repatriation of Mohammad Mani Ahmad al-Qahtani to Saudi Arabia. He has been called “The 20th hijacker”. The review board responsible for determining if detainees will continue to be held or not decided that it was time to release him. Saudi Arabia has a program aimed at replacing a person’s desire to conduct terrorism with a desire to be a productive member of society.
From the Department of Defense:
The Department of Defense announced today the repatriation of Mohammad Mani Ahmad al-Qahtani from the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
On June 9, 2021, the Periodic Review Board process determined that law of war detention of Mohammad Mani Ahmad al-Qahtani was no longer necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the national security of the United States. Therefore, the PRB recommended that al-Qahtani be repatriated to his native country of Saudi Arabia, subject to security and humane treatment assurances.
On Feb. 4, 2022, Secretary of Defense Austin notified Congress of his intent to repatriate al-Qahtani to Saudi Arabia. In consultation with our Saudi partners, we completed the requirements for responsible transfers.
The United States appreciates the willingness of Saudi Arabia and other partners to support ongoing U.S. efforts toward a deliberate and thorough process focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing of the Guantanamo Bay facility.
The PRB process was established by the President’s March 7, 2011 Executive Order 13567. It is consistent with section 1023 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012 and affirmed in Executive Order 13823 (January 30, 2018).
The PRB panel consists of one senior career official each from the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, and State, along with the Joint Staff and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Today, 38 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay: 19 are eligible for transfer; 7 are eligible for a Periodic Review Board; 10 are involved in the military commissions process; and two detainees have been convicted in military commissions.

Yup. An actual terrorist gets to go home because he’s considered to have a “mental illness,” while people who protested the government on 06-Jan-2021 are still in jail, even though they didn’t try to kill or capture anyone.
And the hits just keep on rollin’ for those wacky White House denizens.
Wait, isn’t he still a dingbat jihadist? What changed?
What changed? Presidential Administrations changed.
Very interesting timing?

It’s all just a coincidence. Not-a-thing to see here.
Citizen! There is a black lesbian woman of color under arrest by the Hilters known as Putin. /s&sic
They can keep her America hating, drug vaping ass. You don’t like America? Try a Russian Gulag for 5-10. That might sharpen up her viewpoint a bit.
We don’t always agree but when we do it’s too sweet.
Updooted!
Thats a women?
The term is loosely applied these days.
Wait, I missed this. When did this happen?
This program has an abysmal success rate. The only good thing is he won’t be killing US soldiers in Afghanistan.
Before sending him back they should have (1) sedated him (2) neutered him (3) given him breast implants (4) tattoo “she/her” on his forehead and (5) left him with his beard in a “rainbow themed” dress to wake up in an abandoned car on the street outside of a mosque in Riyadh.
Send all them mofos in Gitmo back in a remotely piloted aircraft. They can draw straws to see which one gets to wear the explosive vest timed to detonate over Saudi Air Space. Their pieces and parts can then fertilize their home soil.
This sh^t just gets stupider and stupider every day that passes. FJB
Should have read, “Saudi Arabia has a program to remove a person’s head.”
