GITMO made him do it !!
I was waiting for the left and its mouthpieces to contort the story of released Guantanamo Bay detainee who carried out a suicide bombing.

According to Secretary Gates, about 5-6 percent of detainees released from Guantanamo in recent years have later become involved in violence. One of those, a Kuwaiti who was captured in Afhanistan while allegedly fighting with the Taliban, was held at Gitmo from 2002 to 2005. Last month he blew himself up in Iraq:The last words of a suicide bomber in Mosul were a rallying cry for Muslims to join the fight against Americans.
His taking-off point was his experience at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
In two accounts — a transcript of his conversation in a jihadist chat room and a suicide message on tape — both posted on Web sites devoted to Al Qaeda after his death, the bomber, Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi, 29, described his detention as “torture” carried out by infidels. He was in Guantánamo from 2002 to 2005.
The American military confirmed that Mr. Ajmi, a Kuwaiti, carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq last month. His relatives were the first to make public his death, and Kuwaiti newspapers reported on Thursday that he was one of three Kuwaiti suicide bombers involved in an attack in Mosul that killed several Iraqi soldiers.
I find it interesting when the left chooses to use the word “alleged”.

Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi was one of two Kuwaitis who took part in a suicide attack in Mosul on April 26, the officials said. Records show that an attack in Mosul that day targeted an Iraqi police patrol and left six people dead, including two police officers.
