Senior officials have identified the Taliban’s new operations officer in Afghanistan as one Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul. What is so remarkable about Rasoul? Well, for one, Rasoul’s CV includes a stint as prisoner No. 008 in the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center.
Yes, yes, I know – Rasoul’s detention in Gitmo has nothing to do with his current role. If anything, his unlawful incarceration there served only to awaken his dormant hatred for the West.
If President Obama follows through with his intention to close Gitmo and disperse its population among host countries, my fear is that these out of work bad guys will look to find employment in one of the few areas of the world that appears to be hiring people of Rasoul’s limited specialties – Afghanistan. And if these bad guys start killing our good guys, the President will have a lot of esplainin’ to do.
