"U.S. Detains 83,000 in war on terror"

Wow, today was a good day.

[Brilliant]

Obviously haven't detained enough, if the Jordan bomber was arrested and released.

[The South Texan]

Only?

And how many of those came across our Southern border?

The silence is deafening.

[oldleft]

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read. How many people did we "detain" in the first Gulf War? 500,000?

[MNJohnnie]

Better get rid of them quick before the US Senate makes them all US Citizens

[MNJohnnie]

And how many of those came across our Southern border?

ZERO. I know that doesn't fit you Hate Mexicans Dogma, it is, however, reality. Too bad for delusions.

legislation could tie the president's hands

That ain't the half-of-it; The RATS & RINOs wanna "Gag 'n Bag" President Bush with their UN-mandated so-called-but-never-fully-carried-out "rules"

[xcamel]

Just the same 14,500 people, detained 5.72 times each.

[pissant]

Hopefully have killed at least that many as well. Buzzards gotta eat too.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

"The detentions and interrogations have brought complaints from Congress and human-rights groups about how the detainees — often Arab and male — are treated."

Well, that's just too bad. Why should we care if they try to do harm to our country? And the voice of the Associated Press writer sounds as though she's right in there defending these creeps! There ya go. Leave it to the press to cause as much trouble as they can...

[Cougar66]

Let the treason begin. By nightfall many US lib Senators and anti US loonie left loudmouths alike will be calling for their release. If that happens I say we send them to GITMO for some R and R. Ted "Walking shot glass" Kennedy will be probably be in that mix(no pun intended)

[jw777]

Let's double that number!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Isn't the number classified?
Who is going to go to prison for leaking it?

[Hegemony Cricket]

"enough to nearly fill the NFL's largest stadium"

Darn shame - I'll bet most of these scumbags don't even like football! j/k

[Doc Savage]

When they get to 83 million give me a call!

[ARealMothersSonForever]

enough to nearly fill the NFL's largest stadium

I just knew there was a good reason to clean up and fix the Superdome!

[libertarianPA]

My English is rusty. Someone please tell me that "detained" is the same thing as "killed."

[Hegemony Cricket]

hehehe!

Maybe you ought to have a quick read of this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1523184/posts

A U.S. lawmaker says elements of the war on terror are now spilling across the nation's southwestern border...

Rep. John A. Culberson, R-Texas, also says there has been an increase in apprehensions of so-called "special interest aliens," or SIAs – aliens from countries where al-Qaida is known to be in operation – along the U.S.-Mexico border...

Further, an increasing number of Texas law enforcement officials are reporting al-Qaida-related arrests and activity, and say the nation's porous borders are making it easier for suspected terrorists to infiltrate the U.S. .....
