WASHINGTON (AFP) — Three senior US senators on Tuesday called on President Barack Obama to stop transferring Guantanamo detainees to Yemen until Sanaa can guarantee that they will not return to the battlefield.
Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Joseph Lieberman -- the first two Republicans and the third a political independent -- said that such transfers are "highly unwise and ill-considered."
Close to half of the 198 "war on terror" detainees still at the US prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- which Obama has vowed to close -- are from Yemen.
The senators wrote to express their "deep concern" about plans to transfer six Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo to the Yemeni government.

LOL! Good one, Galt.
I never saw this before-this is terrifying-especially with O’muslim as CIC.
Creating terror on the airlines is a great reason to take over another part of the ‘economy’....
“Three Amigos”
So what’s your point?
Are John McCain and Lindsey Graham ever seen apart?
He also got caught with the Keating Five but made a deal with the devil to be a RINO.
McCain needs to go home, bang his smoking hot wife and sit in her beer distributorship.
Get Sheriff Joe Arpaio to run for senate and get this old fool out to the old aviators home, where he can tell stories about how great he used to be.
“The Mod Squad” Lindsey is the ‘girl’.
Ron Paul on the airline plot : “They’re terrorists because we’re occupiers!”

I’m sure we can all agree Ron Paul is such a worthless jerk.
Great line! Thanks!
McCain is a loose cannon.
Graham is a fawning lap dog.
And Romney is a liberal snake.
My point would be: When someone says, “Hey, let’s stop and take a look at this — something is not quite right here, and we have to be cautious,” then I think we could do just that and re-evaluate it.
You can’t keep continually harping on someone or something just because that’s what you want to do.
These RINO/DINO nimrods make it easy for the left to mock legitimate concerns. Hello Mc Fly, the Yemeni prisoners have already left the building! Duhhhhhh.
