Washington Post: Pentagon official: Release of Guantanamo detainees has led to American deaths

A senior Pentagon official said Wednesday that the release of detainees from the U.S. military’s prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has led to American deaths, though he did not provide any specific examples.

Paul Lewis, the Defense Department’s special envoy for Guantanamo closure, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee under questioning that “unfortunately, there have been Americans that have died because of Gitmo detainees.” He did not provide any details on whether those deaths occurred in terrorist attacks or on a military battlefield, or how many Americans were killed.

It's just more war propaganda, reported by the Pentagon's Pet MSM,

"3. The Department of Defense does not keep track of released detainees nor does it follow their post release conduct."

They are just making shit up again.

Jay. That is why this official must release the information that helped him in making this conclusion. Unfortunately .... something is telling me that such information is not going to be disclosed.

As the study makes clear, every single "Gitmo Detainee returns to terrorism" story, is pure propaganda fed to a "pet" Media and is "reported" as "truth", with out the least bit of questioning,

It's simply a means of "manufacturing consent" and "shaping" the issue,

And is as reliable as the "babies in the incubators" propaganda.

No media outlet is ever going to question the story, and the rubes will follow along obediently.
