Some Ex-Detainees Still Tied to Terror

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.
