December 7, 2010 Some Ex-Detainees Still Tied to Terror By CHARLIE SAVAGE <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/charlie_savage /index.html?inline=nyt-per> WASHINGTON About one in four former detainees who have been transferred out of the Guantánamo Bay <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/national/usstatesterritoriesandpossessio ns/guantanamobaynavalbasecuba/index.html?inline=nyt-geo> military prison are confirmed or suspected by American intelligence agencies of having engaged in terrorist activities after their release, the Obama administration said Tuesday. A report <http://www.odni.gov/electronic_reading_room/120710_Summary_of_the_Reengagem ent_of_Detainees_Formerly_Held_at_Guantanamo_Bay_Cuba.pdf> by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence offered the most detailed public accounting yet of what the government says has happened to former Guantánamo detainees, a matter that has been the subject of heated political debate. The report said that 448 of the 598 men who were transferred out of the prison after being held there without trial have not aroused further suspicion. But 81 others have been confirmed as having taken part in terrorist or insurgent activity, and 69 more are suspected of it. Most of the problematic ex-detainees were released during the Bush administration. Since taking office, the Obama administration, which has said it wants to close the prison, has transferred 66 prisoners, of whom 5 are confirmed or suspected of post-detention terrorist activity. The report also said that 67 of the 150 confirmed or suspected cases of what it called recidivism have been killed or recaptured. The report said that it defined engaging in terrorist activities as actions like planning or conducting attacks, financing an operation or recruiting and helping transport terrorists. It did not include merely communicating with terrorism suspects or making anti-American statements.
