Release prisoners from GITMO into mainstream America and then give them tax payer dollars? To do what? Finish the job they didn't get to do?I hope there is total outrage in American that these 17 Chinese Muslims are going to be released on American soil and then as tax payers WE have to pay tax dollars to assist them gain back their livelihoods... are you kidding me.
Well China is outraged, they want them to be released back to China... why? So that they can face charges in their country. Though these 17 men did not actually take part in a terrorist activity, they were arrested at an Alqaeda Terrorist Training camp.
And we want to release them and mainstream them into our communities. I don't know about you, but I think Obama and any other democrat who wants to do this should have to adopt these terrorists and take them into their own homes.
Send these men back to their country. Let their country where they are citizens deal with them. We don't need, nor do we want trained terrorist in our country. I ask again... where is the outrage?
Better yet, why doesn't Obama provide refuge for these prisoners in the White House... let's see how safe he thinks his own children will be.

A former State Department lawyer responsible for Guantanamo-related cases said Friday that the Bush administration overreacted after 9/11 and set up a system in which torture occurred.
Vijay Padmanabhan is at least the second former Bush administration official to publicly label "enhanced interrogation techniques" as torture. He said the administration was wrong in its entire approach when it sent detainees to the remote Navy base and declared it out of reach of any court.
"I think Guantanamo was one of the worst overreactions of the Bush administration," Padmanabhan told The Associated Press. He said other overreactions included extraordinary renditions, waterboarding that occurred at secret CIA prisons and "other enhanced interrogation techniques that would constitute torture."
"The idea that you're going to be able to hold someone and detain someone where there is not an applicable legal regime governing their detention, rules, treatment, standards, etc. is, I think, foolish," he said.
The criticisms from Padmanabhan, the department's chief counsel on Guantanamo litigation, are among the harshest yet made by a former Bush administration insider.
President George W. Bush always denied the U.S. tortured anyone. The U.S. has acknowledged that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-described plotter of Sept. 11, and a few other prisoners were waterboarded at secret CIA prisons before being taken to Guantanamo, but the Bush administration insisted that all interrogations were lawful.
Padmanabhan said he believes these tactics _ which the International Committee of the Red Cross has also described as torture _ were approved because the White House was shocked by the Sept. 11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, and wanted to prevent other horrors.
"These are not things that I think any American president would have authorized had they been in a calmer environment," Padmanabhan told AP in a telephone interview.
Oh my, China wants to prosecute it's own citizens and Obama wants to set them up to play house in America.
Oh I can't more than reiterate... let them go to Obama's house and see how safe he thinks his children are!
Bush released prisoners from gitnmo that did turn around to rejoin forces and attack Americans...I see no mention of that????
It's spelled GITMO ...oh and now you are going to jump on bush for releasing prisoners.... lol i love it
Like every other human- I make the occasional typo... much better a slip of the finger than a slip of the mind as in your case. Since I am part of the party in power, the party that is going to pull America from this quagmire of depression (in every way imaginable), I am not concerned with throwing spitballs at imagined targets. I'll leave the straw man building- the red herring flipping to you sore loser Republicans...
lol depression..oh my such a strong word. Top economist... beg to differ with you. There you go spewing lies again!
the depression was over the day Obama won, can't you see how everyone is dancing in the streets? the only thing Americans are depressed about is the fact that the republicans are still trying to steal, lie, and cheat real americans out of their own hard earned money instead of working together and uniting in order to make a stronger America so we can pull together out of this mess the republicans caused.
Bush and Rev Moon:
It is reported that Rev. Moon bought 600,000 hectares — that’s 1,482,600 acres — in the same place as Bush: Chaco, Paraguay.
Another twist: refers to the senior George Bush as the owner of the 98.840 acres in Moon’s neighborhood.
Bush 41 was the first bigshot politician to go prancing around with Rev. Moon in public. Especially in South America:
“In the early stages of the Reagan Revolution that embraced the Washington Times and Moon’s anti-Communist movement, it was embarrassing to be caught at a Moon event,” wrote The Gadflyer last year. “Until George H.W. Bush appeared with Moon in 1996, thanking him for a newspaper that ‘brings sanity to Washington.’” That was while on an extended trip to South America in Moon’s company. A Reuters’ story of Nov 25 of that year describes the former president as “full of praise” for Moon at a banquet in Buenos Aires, toasting him as “the man with the vision.” (And Moon helped Bush out with his own vision thing, paying him $100,000 for the pleasure of his company.) Bush and Moon then traveled together to Uruguay, “to help him inaugurate a seminary in the capital, Montevideo, to train 4,200 young Japanese women to spread the word of his Church of Unification across Latin America.”
Isn’t that special?
Oh, and both the Moonie and Bush land is located at what Paraguay’s drug czar called an “enormously strategic point in both the narcotics and arms trades.” And it sits atop the one of the world’s largest fresh-water aquifers.
