Terrorists to be released in the U.S. - simply incredible!

[Dave Holquist]

The new administration seems to be trying to screw up in a bigger way each day. Now, AG Holder suggests releasing some Guantanamo detainees onto our streets!

One of the reader comments suggested releasing them from an altitude of 30,000 ft. I nominate that guy for public office! :)

I'm wondering how long the American public will continue to go along with this madness?

Holder is a real piece of work. If it wasn't so serious, it would be funny watching this bunch of idiots bungle their way through everything.

[Dartwick]

Do you know anything about the Uighurs they are considering releasing here?

I dont think so.
I think your acting just as crazy as the liberals who think all the detainees are just misunderstood.

I read the article carefully, and looked into who the Uighurs are and how they got there. Holder did not suggest releasing terrorists in the US, he said For "people who can be released there are a variety of options that we have and among them is the possibility is that we would release them into this country,"

The Bush admin determined that they were NOT enemy combatants (let alone "terrorists"). They were not fighting Americans, they got turned over to Pakistan by a third party, who then turned them in for a bounty. Since they are considering each case individually, and this process started before the current administration, it seems they are trying to be careful about this while having some sort of due process.

I dont think we've seen the worst yet. It is bad enough to go to war without a declaration of war by congress[ thanks to the Bush administration] and now we have an administration that appears to have no clue. I guess it was a trade off for a neo-con for a socialist. Not much of a choice. War is necessary at times but I have my doubts as to the justification of Iraq. We should have concentrated on Afganistan or where ever we had to go to get the terrorist responsible for 9/11.
It is hard for me to write this, having a son in the Marines, but if we go to war it should be declared and it should be to win the war, not play political games. I have the utmost respect for our military ...that is why I feel the way I do on this subject.

Forgot to mention , it seems rediculous to even consider letting these people in our country, let alone give them the rights of the Geneva convention. They were not soldiers but terrorist.

Well said. Funny that another thread here is entitled witch hunt. Some of the people we've rounded up are terrorists, some aren't. What is wrong with sifting through and finding out who we should worry about and who not? I'm glad cooler heads are in charge here. As NJwoodsman pointed out, there was a bounty placed on the heads of terrorists in poor countries. It is well documented that people turned innocents in just to get the reward.

"I'm glad cooler heads are in charge here."

ROTFLMAO!!!

Well, I can't imagine anyone acting in a more knee-jerk, non-reflective manner than old G dub and Darth Cheney.

So your rationale for releasing these folks on American soil is WHAT??? Because some (probably liberal) judge said that these guys, who were captured on a foreign battlefield somewhere, had to be released?

Sorry, but I think you're the crazy one. :)

[1bjd]

Turn them all loose and empty the jails bring a few million more illegals in and give them whats left of my money! Why not? We already gave the country away. LOL
Show me a politician who isn't corrupt and I will show you one who hasn't been in office long enough!
I'm waiting for the change I can believe in! I can't stop laughing!

Ya see, the article said detainees to be released but everyone here is saying terrorists to be released. Do you honestly think everyone the US picked up is a terrorist? Ever hear of the film 'taxi to the darkside'?

[Sam Dunham]

I just hope they shipp em back to where they came from.

Honestly you are the reason conservative types and non-liberals get a bad name.

They werent captured by Americans they were handed over to Americans. Its the Chinese that have an issue with the guys. IMO we should be letting these guys in and kicking Chinese out if anything.

But whatever the case you made multiple misstatements. They arent terrorists and we never never considered them terrorists once we knew who they were.
But we did lock them up for 4 or so years.

WE WERE WRONG NOT THEM.


Self rightous Ignorance like yours are why Americans have a bad name for trampling over innocent people around the world.

[Dave Holquist]

Dartwick-
You are entitled to your opinion.
They arent terrorists and we never never considered them terrorists...Weren't these guys captured because they were in Afghanistan/Pakistan to attend AQ training camps(?). So their claim that they were training to fight China has apparently been accepted as the reason to release them into the US? If they left their own country to train in terrorist training camps (the same ones we were trying to attack and eliminate), I still consider them terrorists and do not wish to see them released in the US. Had these guys actually been in a terrorist training camp that our forces were attacking, is there much doubt that they would have been shooting at our troops?

So I'm self-righteously ignorant, but you are soooooo enlightened? To quote VP Biden, "gimme a ******* break!"

[Dartwick]

Well the Bush administration didnt even call them terrorists.

Im sure you have more inside intel than they do. But until you share it with us, well you know...



Actually I think you just make you just make up exciting stuff hoping to make Democrats look bad.

[recurve1]

Should we take terrorist serious?? Remember 9/11. We've become so politically correct in this country we cant even make good judgement calls anymore. And it has'nt been just the Democrats.

[Dartwick]

This is like talking to little kids.

Who is saying we should take terrorists seriously - no one.

The issue here is - are these guys actually terrorists?(and maybe the definition of terrorist.)

[raisins]

Well terrorists know they can't defeat what they are up against. This is why they commit high profile acts to terrify the population. If we make decisions because we are terrified mostly, then they've succeeded.

[Bowcephalus]

"This is like talking to little kids.

Reading the second sentence confirms the first.LMAO

[Dartwick]

Ah hahaha. I left out "not".

Unfortunately, the Obama administration and Democrat-controlled House and Senate do a fine job of making themselves look bad. There is no need to make anything up!
