EXCLUSIVE: Military officials warned about detainee transfers
Military intelligence officials have quietly told Congress they advised against transferring 25 of the 60 Guantanamo Bay terror detainees deemed eligible for relocation by the Obama administration, including five who are considered to be highly dangerous and likely to return to the battlefield.
"The DIA told the committee that DIA has not objected to the release of many rank-and-file members of terrorist organizations 'due to an explicit understanding that many detainees were destined to be transferred out of GTMO regardless of intelligence-based objections,' "
a spokesman for the DNI, the nation's top intelligence official who reports directly to the president, said the intelligence community's job is to provide information and evaluation, and not to step into political debates.
"The intelligence community provides independent, objective intelligence analysis to policymakers without regard to political considerations,"
