How many have returned to terrorism? Is there a reliable source documenting this?

Don't conflate the Taliban with jihadist groups. The Taliban were the government of the country we invaded, not "terrorists."

One in your shoes may ask oneself: "why would the US military invade a country whose government was actually a cooperative ally, rather than an enemy?"

The article clearly explains that they’re weren’t random Gitmo detainees, rather notorious ones that were negotiated in a prisoner swap.

If the remaining ones are equally horrible people, surely the USA could bring actual charges against them, instead of indefinite imprisonment?

Nonetheless it was a monumental screw up of justice no bureaucrat wants to repeat in any form.

Ah, so being a Guantanamo victim is all their fault again?
