Proof positive that Gitmo detainee's are indeed bad guys and not just some poor goat herder scooped up by american troops and you can take them out of the jihad but you cant take the jihad out of the man.

Officials: Afghanistan Taliban leader was at Gitmo
By PAMELA HESS – 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say the Taliban's new top operations officer in southern Afghanistan is a former prisoner at the Guantanamo detention center. Pentagon and CIA officials say Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul was among 13 prisoners released to the Afghan government in December 2007. He is now known as Mullah Abdullah Zakir, a name officials say is used by the Taliban leader in charge of operations against U.S. and Afghan forces in southern Afghanistan.
One intelligence official told The Associated Press that Rasoul's stated mission is to counter the growing U.S. troop surge.
