And what would you have suggested that we do with 26,000 of what I assume were listed as POW's? Just shoot them? Lock the doors and walk way letting them starve? And I'll bet that they were actually released to the Iraqi authorities first, so if they're on the streets, it was not the US that technically put them there.

Actually, it was Camp Bucca in Iraq. Obama freed thousands of terrorists before he bugged out of Iraq.


Camp Bucca once held about 26,000 inmates, many of whom were Islamic extremists and factional leaders in the sectarian war that devastated Iraq in 2006 and 2007. Prisoners described the conditions at the desert compound as harsh, according to The Guardian.

Inmates at Camp Bucca were segregated into Sunni and Shia areas. Critics of the facility say it became a terror-training institute, run by aggrieved inmates under a severe interpretation of Islamic law.

“It is al-Qa’ida central down there,” Sheikh Ali Hatem Suleiman, a tribal leader from Anbar province told The Guardian. “What better way to teach everyone how to become fanatical than put them all together for scant reason, then deprive them?”

The US military began releasing 1,000 prisoners per month before it closed the facility in September, 2009. Some faced the Iraqi justice system, but the majority of those released – including al-Baghdadi – faced no further charges.
