Reporting from Washington -- The Obama administration is preparing to admit into the United States as many as seven Chinese Muslims who have been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay in the first release of any of the detainees into this country, according to current and former U.S. officials.

The news today just keeps getting better and better. /s

[A_Former_Democrat]

Perhaps some of my lib friends would like to take them in

[PGR88]

When they are done trying Bush/Cheney, we can begin Obama’s trial for treason.

[oldbill]

They will be citizens and voting Democrat by next year.

[Dr. Ursus]

They’ll send the to Detroit and a week later they’ll be begging to go back to Gitmo!

“Perhaps some of my lib friends would like to take them in”

And us to pay for it. The lib way.

[ScottinVA]

And they’re not being repatrioted to their home country because...????????

[a fool in paradise]

Kick them out of the country and put them on a travel visa watch list.

We may not be able to hold them but we don’t have to let them immigrate.

[a fool in paradise]

The Left says it is too dangerous for these muslims to return home. They may be tortured by local officials there (if they are concerned about terrorism) or they may be cast out for “talking” or even posing a security risk to other terrorist cells (since they may still be monitored to see who they communicate with).

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Let me know if you want on or off the ping list...

[My hearts in London - Everett]

And when they get here they may torture some of us by committing acts of terrorism in our own country. I do not think our country will last until 2012 with these kinds of policies of the “O”. This administration is going to stick it to the American people one too many times ~ and I don’t think that will take another 4 1/2 years!

In today’s world, everything is turned on its head. I have read that these Chinese muslims were judged to be a major risk by the group studying the prisoners but that Obama wants them released and gave orders to change the evaluation. True? Can’t be sure but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were.

[Vigilanteman]

The Chinese want these guys back. Maybe they should threaten to just not show up for the next treasury bill auction until we extradite them.

My daughter has a few contacts on the Mainland and speaks decent Mandarin. Maybe I'll have her pass along this suggestion.

[peace with honor]

place in the administration? possibly HS?

Not long after being granted access to TV, some of the Uighurs were watching a soccer game. When a woman with bare arms was shown on the screen, one of the group grabbed the television and threw it to the ground, according to the officials.

I hope their new neighbors don't use that as an excuse for not inviting them to superbowl parties.

[pnh102]

But them in a blue county.

[Cicero]

Do they get free housing and food stamps? I presume so. And Public Defenders if they run into any trouble.

[VanShuyten]

Just put them back where we found them if we’re going to release them.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Will BHO take the blame when they start using all they learned from other prisoners?

[a fool in paradise]

Do we have to stop the plane?
