Al Qaida operatives

President Obama announced that the US would close Guantanamo within a year and then the press leaped on the news that one person, released from there in 2007, appears to be a chief Al Qaida lieutenant. Has anyone asked whether a prolonged stay at that facility might not turn a reason person into a USA-hating fanatic? Perhaps he was swept up in the early collection days and was never a political enemy of us. Ah, but after God-knows-what treatment, perhaps that turned him into a person ripe for recruitment... Just a thought.
