By freeing Abd al Rahim al Nashiri and all the others, we are putting ourselves at risk (“Begging for Terror,” Editorial, Feb. 7).

Wouldn’t it be a lot simpler to keep them where they are and replace the so-called torturers with gentle disciplinarians?

Releasing them requires close monitoring and surveillance, and this comes out of our pockets.

The judge in Cuba had no choice but to dismiss the charges against a man whose sole motive is to kill more innocent Americans, all because of the liberal agenda of our new president.

What a phony.

No matter how distasteful you may find the attack on USS Cole, it is ridiculous to try to call attacking a hardened, strategic, military asset a “terror attack.”

You won’t earn any credibility while continuing to view the world through your distorted lens.
