Kamaaina and malihini have long described Hawaii in the most glowing of terms: a cultural melting pot, a paradise resplendent with diversity or a land of aloha.

North Kona Councilman Kelly Greenwell wants to take that image, embrace it and enhance it.

Greenwell recently sent a letter to President Barack Obama, asking the Hawaii-born commander-in-chief to consider sending prisoners to be released from the prison at the naval base in Guantanamo Bay to the Big Island. The idea isn't to incarcerate the prisoners here, the councilman said, but to release them and begin a process of healing and forgiveness.

FReep him? I think it’s a fine idea.

Second only to confining them to the DC beltway.

[rovenstinez]

WHY reward them with Paradise, why not Patmos...or Cuba..

[NeoConfederate]

This is a good idea. Put them there so N. Korea can take them out with a missile and we can be through with those terrorists.

[Jeffrey_D.]

I agree! Give them Paradise and some Virgins...compliments of Zarqawi !!! (our way)

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Fine, as long as they, and he, share the same house for at least one year before either of them can move out.

Oh hell no. This lady is crazy, and certainly doesn’t speak for everyone there.

Cool. Send them with heavy weapons, prepaid cell phones, sunscreen, and a briefcase full of cash.

[Lakeshark]

Hawaii, a fine idea?

[SueRae]

[Finatic]

That must be some killer pakalolo

[null and void]

Nah. I just thought putting them in The 0nes's home town has a certain, uh, justice...

[BIGLOOK]

Auwe! Auwe!

Who's the clown, Leo? Some medicinal marijuana grower who got a side job with the council?

Maybe he thinks the released terrorists will feel right at home on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Kea with all those feral goats.

[LeoWindhorse]
