Bush Freed Terror Suspect

And the lame excuse they gave is that they didn't want to risk intelligence sources and methods by trying the guy in a court of law. But of course, all they had to do was declare him an enemy combatant, and they wouldn't have to try him in an open court. So that's clearly not what's up here. I'm wondering if this is part of some secret deal with the Syrians, possibly to have the Syrian torture the hell out of the guy, or part of a quid pro quo - they get this guy and we get...

Either way, Bush now seems to be setting terrorists free when the price is right. I'm sure he'll say Bill Clinton made him do it.
