Retired Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens said this week that the government should compensate detainees still being held at Guantanamo Bay even after authorities determined that they did not pose a threat to the United States.
Stevens’s call to give reparations to dozens of detainees at the U.S. military detention center in Cuba comes as the Pentagon is racing to move these inmates ahead of possible congressional action that could restrict transfers.
In a speech Monday, Stevens pointed to the detainees who have already been approved for a transfer out of Guantanamo Bay, saying that some or all of them “are entitled to some sort of reparation.”

Treason, pure and simple.
Next time just shoot the bastards.
Stevens is 95. There is an element of dementia in some of his words.
Senile dementia.
I'm ready to pay - two slugs in the head for each and every one of them.
Was there a little porridge dribbling out of his mouth when he said this?
We gave them free rooms, meals and medical care.
WTF else should we do to them....
The only thing I want to hear from these idiots is their opinion on a decided case and as title of that as need be
and this guy has.... or will be voting on the “gay” “marriage” issue before the Supreme Court....?
Thank God that we no longer have to pay attention to what that @$$hat thinks.
There are some who were being held because they were demed not to be a danger to the US, but had no homeland to send them to, such as the Chinese rebels we picked up.
No reason to kill them, and sending them “home” would kill them. No reason to pay them reparations either.
“Stevens is 95. There is an element of dementia in some of his words.”
No, he was that crazy even in his younger days. And if anyone deserves reparations, it is the sane people in this country that were badly abused by some of the decisions this idiot made while he was on the Supreme Court.
Well John Paul should start writing out his personal checks to them, if he can remember what a check is.
This nutjob was sitting on the Supreme Court, thinking things like this while deciding cases of national importance. Thanks, Jerry (Ford), for giving us this lunatic.
I just changed my mind about euthanasia. I am now in favor in certain select cases.
WHEEEEW! close call!....
I think they should be given reparations....a few 150gr hps.
Um, set them up in business in Baltimore? One half get a stake in the "I'm Free at Last Pharmacy", and the other in the "Ali Muhammed Sports Shoe and Jihad Emporium", EBT cards Welcome?
Has Stevens ever seen any photos of 9/11?
