Some terror suspects held until now in Camp Delta on the US Navy base in Gitmo, Cuba, will be transferred to a prison in Illinois. “In taking this action, said National Security Adviser James Jones, “we are removing from terrorist organizations around the world the recruiting tool that Guantanamo has come to symbolize.”
Jones is right on the money.
You see, before the USA ran Camp Delta, Al-Qaeda had a real tough time getting members to die on Jihad. For example, they found only 19 members ready to hijack a mere four jets to carry out a terror attack, a year after the attack on the USS Cole. I cannot begin to think how many more planes would have been hijacked if Al-Qeada had this “Gitmo” recruiting toll back in 2000.
Furthermore, look how many terror attacks the US had on its territory since Gitmo came along. You want the list? Here it is: Em, ah. E, hu, em… Sorry, I lost the list. I think it is somewhere between, em… How many? O, now I remeber: Between zero and no attacks.
Update: I found the list! The DC Sniper said on his death bed that the main reason he shot 13 people in 2002, was due to Gitmo.
Oops, he didn’t say that. I just made it up.
