Pentagon officials justify America's Guantanamo torture center by asserting that up to 30 previously released Guantanamo detainees are or have been fighting against the United States.

Really...!, I would be surprised if every released Guantanamo detainee did not fight against the United States. I would also be surprised if every released detainee from the Guantanamo torture center (and other torture centers) did not spend their entire life recruiting others to fight against the United States.

However, I am surprised that our officials are surprised that this would or has occurred.¹

• UPDATED 01/06/2010 Pentagon: Gitmo recidivism likely rising.

  So when we rencounter the estimated 14 percent of former Guantanamo detainees that are recidivists let's not again subject them to a Guantanamo or kangaroo or torture like processes lest their relative low recidivist rate increase.

• U.S. says 6 ex-Gitmo detainees active

1. The United States can just speak with its despicable and despised anti-terrorism partner and torture sub-contractor Egypt (and others like Saudi Arabia).

Eygpt, long ago began "inviting" people into its torture centers. One invitee was American educated "Muslim Brotherhood" member Sayyid Qutb. Another invitee was al-Qaeda's key propagandists Ayman al-Zawahiri. Over the decades many have been invited into Egypt’s torture centers.

Needless to say Egypt’s torture centers did not work as intended and neither will America's Guantanamo torture center.

Why America has patterned its response to terrorism on the despicable and despised nation of Egypt (and others like Saudi Arabia) is puzzling and baffling, to say the least.

Are we really going to follow them into the cesspool of despicable and despised nations in a futile slugfest over the last few drops of oil?

That does not sound like Yankee ingenuity to me - it sounds brain-dead!
