MSNBC: 61 fmr. Gitmo detainees have returned to fight against U.S.

Media Matters has documented that the 61 figure includes 43 former detainees who the Pentagon says are “suspected” of, but not confirmed as, having “return[ed] to the fight” and that Seton Hall University School of Law professor Mark Denbeaux has disputed the Pentagon's figures.
