For John, BLUF: It is all a joke.
The Duffel Blog♠ web site appears to have sucked in Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over a story about Guantanamo Detainees being granted Veterans Benefits. To be fair, it was a constituent who brought it to the attention of the Senator's office. Here is the linked original Duffel Blog post, and the lede:
GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA - In a controversial move praised by the international community as a promotion of human rights, the Department of Defense has begun allowing prisoners at Guantanamo Bay to seek Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits. While these benefits have traditionally been restricted to veterans of the United States Military to use in pursuit of a degree, the Pentagon has seen fit to begin allowing GTMO prisoners to enroll in the programRegards — Cliff
