Bill Bailey via Western Center for Journalism Obama set up the board in 2011 and is solely responsible for appointing its members. Beyond that, reports indicate there is little known about its operations and scarcely any accountability for its actions.

This means that, in determining which terrorists will be allowed to roam free in the Middle East, a significant amount of relevant data will not be available to those making the decision.

About three in 10 of those who have already been released, reports show, have been tied to efforts to once again join in terror plots.
