FactCheck.org : McCain’s Gitmo Exaggeration

See on Scoop.itDidYouCheckFirst

Greg Russak‘s insight:

"It is worth noting that the vast majority of the recidivists to whom McCain referred were released when George W. Bush was president. Only 7 percent of the 71 prisoners released since Obama took office are either confirmed (three) or suspected (two) of returning to terrorist activities. By contrast, nearly 31 percent of the 532 prisoners released under Bush later were confirmed (94) or suspected (70) of returning to the fight."

Proud middle class husband, father, and progressive liberal. Was registered Non-Partisan my entire adult life before registering as a Democrat in order to vote for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 closed primary. Staying registered as a Democrat in order to be part of the changes the Party needs instead of whining about it from the outside. See Republicans as devoid of moral standing, intellect, and credibility now that they've embraced and continue to support the human filth that is Trump. Libertarians are only slightly better. Objectivism is the epitome of greed and selfishness, and believers show a degree of intellectual and moral bankruptcy that can only be appreciated by someone who is proud of their lack of empathy. An atheist who doesn't care what you believe so long as you stop pretending the Founding Fathers intended for you to legislatively force your Christian beliefs on everyone else.
