Chairman Zero's NSA is OK with 20% Terrorist Recidivism Rate

Chairman Zero's National Security Advisor John Brennan steps in it again by claiming that it's not a big deal that 1 in 5 terrorists released from Club Gitmo return to terrorism.

"People sometimes use that figure, 20 percent, say 'Oh my goodness, one out of five detainees returned to some type of extremist activity,'" Brennan said. "You know, the American penal system, the recidivism rate is up to something about 50 percent or so, as far as return to crime. Twenty percent isn't that bad."

So, to this dimwitted leader of our national security brain trust, a terrorist released from Club Gitmo who goes back to suicide bombings is about the same as a guy who is released from the state pen and goes back to stealing cars.

I guess I shouldn't criticize Brennan, though, because he has made it clear that criticizing Chairman Zero's terror policy is unpatriotic.
