W.H. Boasts: ‘More than 90 Percent’ of Ex-Gitmo Detainees Have Not Returned to Terror

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
ROSEN: "A journal has published a story reporting that a former detainee at Guantanamo released by the Obama Administration has resumed an act of war fighting role with al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula in Yemen. Can you confirm that story?" 
EARNEST: "I've seen those reports but I'm not in a position to confirm that particular story. Obviously the -- any report about a former Gitmo detainee re-engaging in the fight would be a source of significant concern and something that we would take quite seriously. Based on what we know so far, more than 90 percent of those who have been transferred from Guantanamo bay have not re-engaged in the fight. But we are certainly paying close attention, even if we find unconfirmed reports about those who may have. Reporter: Are you investigating the claims here? Mr. Earnest: It's something I can assure you that the U.S. Government is taking a look at."
