open and asks if you approve of the president's decision to keep guantanamo bay open which is kind of interesting right because he'll claim that this is something he's been trying to do the opposite of clothes they all along and yet his hands of been tied by congress. it's interesting because it's almost as if this could become a political question in the twenty twelve election which anyone who has been following the election closely knows that neither mitt romney nor barack obama nor rick santorum or anybody else save for maybe ron paul is going to make an issue out of guantanamo bay prison and so that's one aspect that i thought of when i saw this result but also you know it's awful fifty three percent of liberals would be ok with letting the prison remain open and you really have to put it like that because and well i think they might be thinking that because they believe that obama's hands are tied it's really all because i would expect liberals who are passionate about supporting obama to lead the way and have the courage of their conviction to say if they think it's wrong the

those lovely fair and balanced folks over at fox news they've heard through the great guy the guantanamo bay is create a soccer field for cooperated inmates and attempts to prove the quality of life as you can imagine they are just outraged shout read their support. you're also footing the bill for a new soccer field for want of a mowbray terrorism detainees to the tune of seven hundred fifty thousand dollars camp six houses what are termed highly compliant detainees who live in a communal setting. yeah that's right you're footing the bill for that seven hundred and forty four thousand dollars soccer field but guess what taxpayers are also footing the bill to actually keep all the detainee the locked up in guantanamo bay you know how much that costs about eight hundred thousand dollars per year per person that's funny because failed to mention it when he was talking about the taxpayers but i guess that internal memo went out of the fox news all stars because bret wasn't the only one who was outraged over the soccer field story we are paying seven hundred fifty thousand dollars of taxpayer mo

more than 160 prisoners once locked up at guantanamo bay have turned back to terror.s according to a report from house republicans slamming the release of hundreds of detainees. it blames both the bush administration and the obama administration for bowing to, quote: domestic political pressures and a desire to earn goodwill abroad by sending detainees elsewhere. in this report, it indicates 27% of the 600 detainees the government has transferred out of gitmo are either confirmed or suspected to be involved in terrorist activities. the democrats call those statistics republic fear mongering. but the report does raise new concerns as the white house decides what to do at that controversial place and the detainees still locked up inside. mike emanuel with the news on capitol hill tonight. what is the number one issue in this report, mike? >> well, shep, essentially the concern that u.s. troops and intelligence officers may have to face these guys after they are released from guantanamo back out on the battlefield. here is the key lawmaker behind the report expressing hi

how the last two presidential administrations handled the release of terrorism suspects from guantanamo bay chief congressional correspondent rahm emanuel has details. >> a new report estimates 27% of the 600 former guantanamo detainees were confirmed or suspected of returning to terrorist activities. >> the study blames the bush and obama managers seeking to release or transfer detainees in reaction to pressure. desire to earn good will abroad. republican congressman whitman led the study. >> reengagement is the most concerning to us. the policies don't seem to be refined to ensure we're not having detainees return to the battlefield. >> today, speaker boehner expressed his own concerns. >> the clear evidence on the battlefield. >> the top democrat disagreed with the report believing that detainee policy improved and favors closing gitmo and says, "i continue to believe the detention facility at guantanamo bay, cuba, is a black eye for the nation abroad serving as a powerful recruiting tool for terrorists. we have the ability to close the facility and we should be working toward that end."

policies the fact that seventy percent of respondents agree with the president's decision to keep guantanamo bay open including fifty three percent of self identified liberal democrats now that i find incredibly unfortunate that's something that we discussed at length on the show this week the hypocrisy the you now see coming from the left that use guantanamo bay as a rallying cry as a key area of critique against the bush administration they saw it as a black mark on america's record a symbol of the last administration's decisions to throw what we stood for out the window and respond in a reprehensible way by torturing and was also something that president obama used or before being president something that he used to win favor disappoint. to get elected so why self identified liberal democrats suddenly think that it's ok and approve of this detention center staying open i find that to be unforgivable and a weakness of character on their part and the poll also showed us that eighty three percent of respondents approve of obama's use of the drone program to go after terrorist suspects overseas i
