Yemini Jailbreak Update

The Jawa Report has more details on the Yemeni jailbreak last week that resulted in 23 terrorists escaping, including at least one major player in the attack on the USS Cole (killing 17 sailors). One of the terrorists who made his escape from a Yemini prison was an American with a $5 million bounty. And this tidbit:

The mosque they tunneled to is one where Judge Hamoud al-Hittar regularly preaches. al-Hittar is the judge in charge of Yemen's Dialog program which aims to rehabilitate AQ through dialog, and over 200 have been released from jail under this program. Only a few have shown up in Iraq with Zarchawi after that.

The Yemini Times claims that at least one of the escapees have been recaptured. That would be good news, but it's not comforting to know that there are those within the Yemini government who are undermining the war effort against the terrorists.

As I have said before, the US is only as secure as the least secure detention facility around the world holding terrorists who seek to perpetrate terrorist attacks and mass casualty attacks against the US and its worldwide interests.

UPDATE:
Nice to see that the media still misses the point on the repercussions of the Yemini jailbreak. Instead of noting that US national security is dependent on the least secure detention facilities around the world, it's reporting that the jailbreak means that the US and the Saudis have to be on heightened alert. Well, that's true - but incomplete.
