Obama Releases Four Guantanamo Detainees To Saudi Arabia

NewsHubThe Pentagon announced the release of four Guantanamo Bay detainees to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Wednesday, lowering the number of remaining detainees to 55.
Salem Ahmad Hadi Bin Kanad, Muhammed Rajab Sadiq Abu Ghanim, Abdallah Yahya Yusif Shibli, and Muhammad Ali Abdallah Muhammad Bwazir were all former al-Qaida members with a long history of terrorist activity.
Kanad, a native of Yemen, reportedly fought against U. S. forces as a commander in the 55th Arab Brigade, an elite guerrilla unit personally created by Osama bin Laden. While his review in April, 2016 , indicated that he wanted to be released to live a peaceful life with his family in Riyadh, Kanad consistently expressed a desire to engage in jihad prior to his capture.
Ghanim, also a Yemeni citizen, was once a personal bodyguard to Osama bin Laden. He associated with the terrorists responsible for the USS Cole bombing in 1999 and a suspected 9/11 hijacker and may have ties to the Hezbollah terrorist organization. Ghanim has a long criminal history, which includes sabotage, theft and weapons smuggling. He also is suspected of fighting with bin Laden’s 55th Arab Brigade.
Shibli, a Saudi native, fought for al-Qaida during the infamous raid on Osama bin Laden’s Tora Bora compound. He is known to have attended several al-Qaida training camps in Afghanistan.
Mohammed Ali Abdullah Bwazir, a Yemeni citizen, is also a former member of the infamous 55th Arab Brigade. He willfully admitted to U. S. military personnel to fighting coalition forces in Afghanistan and continued to display extremist tendencies after his capture and detainment. Military officials at one point warned he would likely seek out terrorist contacts if he were to be released.
President Obama made closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay a key policy objective throughout his presidency. He created the Periodic Review Board, which is comprised of senior officials from various government departments, in order to determine the suitability of release for the detainees. Many of the detainees released under the Obama administration were deemed “high risk” and between 18 and 30 percent have returned to terrorism.

Trump continues criticism of intelligence community on Twitter

NewsHubCBS News has learned that U. S. intelligence has intercepts of Russian officials expressing pleasure that their plan to meddle in the American presidential election was successful, and Donald Trump won the White House, according to U. S. officials. The Russian motive was primarily to hurt Hillary Clinton’s candidacy — Mr. Trump’s victory was an added bonus.
The president-elect was critical Thursday night of the fact that at least one media organization had information from the classified report that he is to be briefed on Friday at Trump Tower. One day before the highly-anticipated briefing with the four heads of the major intelligence agencies, Mr. Trump sent a series of tweets that seemed to criticize the intelligence community.
In the first tweet, Mr. Trump wondered how NBC had obtained an intelligence briefing that President Obama received on Thursday — and which Mr. Trump is scheduled to receive on Friday.
How did NBC get « an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?  » Who gave them this report and why? Politics!
Mr. Trump then cited a recent report in BuzzFeed News that the FBI did not ask the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to see its servers after the alleged hack.
The Democratic National Committee would not allow the FBI to study or see its computer info after it was supposedly hacked by Russia……
Mr. Trump also cast doubt on the hacking allegations, about which he has long expressed skepticism.
So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? What is going on?
Additionally, one of the his transition’s teams intelligence advisors, former CIA director James Woolsey, announced he would not longer be working with them. In an interview with CNN , Woolsey said his quitting had nothing to do with Mr. Trump’s comments.
But Mr. Woolsey admitted earlier in the day on CBSN’s “Red & Blue” that Mr. Trump had been “critical” of the agencies. “There’s no doubt about that,” Woolsey said.
Mr. Trump has been skeptical of the intelligence community’s handling of the alleged Russian interference in the U. S. election. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump seemed to agree with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who had said in an interview with Fox News that Russia was not the source of files hacked from Democrats before the election. Mr. Trump later denied on Twitter that it was not the case that he agreed with Assange.
Mr. Trump’s tweets are believed by intelligence officials to be having a negative effect on the intelligence workforce. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper suggested on Thursday at a hearing about the Russian hacking that Mr. Trump’s public criticism was leading to low morale.
Intelligence officials say the tension is palpable as Trump prepares to receive the Russia hacking report from Clapper and the heads of the CIA, NSA and FBI .

Toyota assures Trump after threat over Mexico plant

NewsHubNEW YORK, Jan. 5 (UPI) — Toyota Motor Corporation assured President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday that a planned auto factory in Mexico won’t take any jobs from the United States.
The automaker’s response was prompted by a tweet from Trump Thursday that read, « Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U. S. NO WAY! Build plant in U. S. or pay big border tax.  »
In a statement, Toyota clarified that the new plant will be built in Guanajuato, Mexico, not Baja — although the company does have a plant there.
« Toyota has been part of the cultural fabric in the U. S. for nearly 60 years. With more than $21.9 billion direct investment in the U. S., 10 manufacturing facilities, 1,500 dealerships and 136,000 employees, Toyota looks forward to collaborating with the Trump Administration to serve in the best interests of consumers and the automotive industry, » Toyota said .
Keeping and bringing jobs to the United States was a central issue in Trump’s campaign, and the president-elect has already made multiple moves aimed at accomplishing a growing domestic labor market.
In its response, Toyota added that its Mexico operations complement U. S. operations, particularly a truck plant in San Antonio that produced 230,000 Tundras and Tacomas last year. It also said $700 million was invested last year at plants in Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana and West Virginia.
Asian governments and businesses have been wary of Trump’s coming administration, partly because he plans to cancel the Trans Pacific Partnership — a trade deal adopted last year aimed at facilitating business among the United States and several Pacific Rim nations.
Shares of Toyota ( NYSE: TM ) fell on the New York Stock Exchange in Thursday trading after Trump’s tweet, before finishing at $120.44.

NewsHubPresident Obama weighed in on the brutal Facebook video showing four African-Americans torturing a white man in Chicago, calling it a “despicable” act and a hate crime.
Obama commented on the incident during an interview on Thursday, after Chicago police announced that the four suspects involved in the vicious crime have been charged with kidnapping, hate crimes and a slew of other offenses.
Obama denied that racial tensions have increased in the Windy City, his home town. He said that smart phones and the Internet has just made such incidents more visible.
“What we have seen as surfacing, I think, are a lot of the problems that have been there a long time,” he said told CBS Chicago .
“Whether it’s tensions between police and communities, hate crimes of the despicable sort that has just now recently surfaced on Facebook.”
“I take these things very seriously,” Obama continued.
The video, which was released on Wednesday, shows four suspects screaming “fuck white people” and “fuck Donald Trump” while tormenting, assaulting and cutting their 18-year-old white captive.
The suspects kidnapped the victim on Dec. 31. He is said to be mentally impaired.
Earlier on Thursday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said it was “too early to tell” if the suspects committed a hate crime. Though Obama now says that the brutal attack is a hate crime, it is unclear if the administration will pursue federal charges.

Trump Is Not Happy About An NBC Story On Russian Hacking Intelligence

NewsHubNBC reported Thursday afternoon on the contents of the intelligence report President Barack Obama received earlier in the day on Russia and that President-elect Donald Trump will receive Friday. Trump subsequently tweeted his displeasure that NBC received access to the information in the report.

The NBC story, citing two top intelligence officials with knowledge of the report, said that Russia also attempted to hack the White House, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Department of State, and several American companies. Not all of these hacks were successful. The NBC report says that Russian had hacking efforts in the 2008 and 2012 elections, and that the intelligence report does not mention whether the Russian interference shifted the race in Trump’s favor.
Intelligence analysts concluded that Russia led a hacking operation during the 2016 election to undermine American democracy and as “payback” for Obama’s questioning of Vladimir Putin’s legitimacy as Russian president, according to NBC.
Trump tweeted after the report aired, “How did NBC get ‘an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?’ Who gave them this report and why? Politics!”
It is not clear from the NBC report that they had an “exclusive look” into the intelligence, just that they were told what was in the report President Obama received.

Trump will ask Congress, not Mexico, to pay for wall, sources say

By

NewsHubWASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has signaled to congressional Republican leaders that the President-elect’s preference is to fund the border wall through the appropriations process as soon as April, according to House Republican officials.
The move would break a key campaign promise when Trump repeatedly said he would force Mexico to pay for the construction of the wall along the border.
The Trump team argues it will have the authority through a Bush-era 2006 law to build the wall, lawmakers say, but it lacks the money to do so. Transition officials have told House GOP leaders in private meetings they’d like to pay for the wall in the funding bill, a senior House GOP source said.
“It was not done in the Obama administration, so by funding the authorization that’s already happened a decade ago, we could start the process of meeting Mr. Trump’s campaign pledge to secure the border,” Indiana Republican Rep. Luke Messer said on Thursday.
Messer admitted it’s “big dollars, but it’s a question of priorities.” He pointed to a border security bill that Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul proposed last year that cost roughly $10 billion.
“Democrats may well find themselves in the position to shut down all of government to stop the buildout of a wall, or of a barrier, or of a fence,” Messer said.
If Mexico refuses to pay for the wall the GOP could add billions of dollars into the spending bill that needs to pass by April 28 to keep the government open. But doing so would force a showdown with Senate Democrats and potentially threaten a government shutdown.
No decisions have been made, GOP sources said.
Republicans point out that then-Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Chuck Schumer and then-Sen. Hillary Clinton voted for the 2006 bill and argued that since Democrats backed that bill, they should support efforts to fund the current effort.
The thinking behind the strategy is that it is harder for Democrats to filibuster spending bills because of the high stakes involved if they fail to pass in time.
Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 3 Republican in the House leadership, declined to say Thursday if Congress would pay for the wall.
“We want President Trump to have all the tools he needs to build the wall,” Scalise said. “We’re in talks with him on the details of it as they’re still putting together their team. We still got a few months before there’s another funding bill that’s going to move. We’re going to work with him to make sure we can get it done. We want to build a wall. He wants to build a wall.”

NewsHubIn October – alongside its new Surface Studio all-in-one PC, and Surface Dial rotary input device – Microsoft announced details of the Windows 10 Creators Update , the next major suite of improvements and additions to its OS. Microsoft didn’t commit to a firm release date for the new update, beyond stating that it would arrive sometime in « early 2017 ».
Internal references to Windows 10 ‘Version 1703’ previously hinted at plans to make the Creators Update available in March , as the first two digits of the OS version number are intended to refer to the year of its release, while the last two refer to the month. But a few days ago, a report claimed that the final version number will actually be 1704, pointing towards an April rollout.
At the CES industry expo today, Dell confirmed that the Creators Update will indeed arrive in April, as Petri’s Brad Sams noted on Twitter. Dell also unveiled a new UltraSharp 8K Monitor today, along with the XPS 27 all-in-one and Surface Studio-style Canvas PC.
Key improvements in the Creators Update will include:
Assuming the Creators Update does indeed arrive in April, its rollout will begin just a few weeks before Microsoft’s Build 2017 developer conference , where the company will likely announce key details about its Windows 10 ‘Redstone 3’ update. That update, which is due towards the end of the year, will include a refreshed user interface, screenshots of which emerged earlier today.
