Two More 'High' Risk Detainees Transferred from Gitmo

Secretary of State John Kerry praised the Republic of Senegal today “for offering humanitarian resettlement to” two now former Guantanamo detainees. As was the case when the administration transferred detainees to Uruguay in late 2014 and Ghana earlier this year, the Guantanamo jihadists are being portrayed almost as victims in need of rescue from the American government.

“The United States appreciates the generous assistance of the Government of Senegal as the United States continues its efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility,” Kerry said in a statement to the press. “This significant humanitarian gesture is consistent with Senegal’s leadership on the global stage.”
