Mohammed al-Horton?

It turns out that one of the bombers in last week's attack in Jordan was a former terrorist detainee. Here's the story on Sfah Mohammed Ali:

"He was detained locally at the division detention facility" but was released two weeks later because there was no "compelling evidence to continue to hold him" as a "threat to the security of Iraq," the military said.

Hmmm. Maybe requiring our military to meet the full burden of U.S. law when it comes to detaining terrorists isn't the best idea.

Sfah Mohammed Ali may be the terrorist Willie Horton, but it's not like this is the first time this has happened. From the October 22, 2004 Washington Post:

At least 10 detainees released from the Guantanamo Bay prison after U.S. officials concluded they posed little threat have been recaptured or killed fighting U.S. or coalition forces in Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to Pentagon officials.

One of the repatriated prisoners is still at large after taking leadership of a militant faction in Pakistan and aligning himself with al Qaeda, Pakistani officials said. In telephone calls to Pakistani reporters, he has bragged that he tricked his U.S. interrogators into believing he was someone else.

Another returned captive is an Afghan teenager who had spent two years at a special compound for young detainees at the military prison in Cuba, where he learned English, played sports and watched videos, informed sources said. U.S. officials believed they had persuaded him to abandon his life with the Taliban, but recently the young man, now 18, was recaptured with other Taliban fighters near Kandahar, Afghanistan, according to the sources, who asked for anonymity because they were discussing sensitive military information.

Shouldn't something be done about this?
