Guantanamo recidivism

The US government has made a number of statements that many of those released from Gitmo are recidivists who return to the fight against the US. Maybe for a few of them that's true, but the statements are propaganda as they have no basis in fact.
Fro example, Feinstein said that 28 released Yemenis returned to the fight in Yemen--but in fact only 16 Yemeni prisoners were released from Guantánamo between 2004 and November 2009, and only one of these men allegedly became involved in terrorism.

Seton Hall has conducted analyses debunking those claims.
