Federal authorities began what will be hotly contested discussions this week on where in the U.S. to send Guantanamo detainees who cannot be tried or transferred to another country, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.

Gates told senators that he realizes that virtually every member of Congress will file legislation prohibiting the U.S. from sending the detainees to a facility in their own state.

He said the Justice Department is still trying to determine how many of the 241 detainees at the military prison in Cuba will not be taken by other countries or put on trial, and there is no decision yet on where the remainder will go. Gates said that total would likely be between 50 and 100.

I don’t understand why these clueless idiots don’t just leave them at Guantanamo.

Oh, that’s right they are clueless idiots who are bent on killing us all.

The first one should be housed in the White House; second one goes to Pelosi’s house; third one goes to Reid’s house and so on down the line. There are over 500 houses available just within the Congress. Hope they all sleep well at night knowing they have a psychopath in their homes who want them room temperature.

The Obama admin’s hate for the American people knows no bounds.

Maybe the democrats were behind the attacks on 9/11. That would make perfect sense in light of their recent activities.

Yep, the democrats were behind the 9/11 terror attacks.

Oh no, the federal oligarchs must not be endangered. Placing the psychopathic Islamic murderers in the general population gives the oligarchs a buffer, so to get to them many civilians will be a trail to stop the murderers before they can make it to Washington don’tchaknow. Think of we the serfs as the oligarchs’ buffer zone.

I'm confident our Texas prisons can hold them.

I pity the rest of you.

Good. They should be brought to LA, Chicago, NY, and Alexandria VA. The people who voted for 0bama should have to put their money where their mouth is.

Put them all in Alcatraz with a return plane ticket and $5000 dollars in cash - each.
Issue each a Colt 1911.
Place 100,000 rounds of 45 around the facility.
Leave a one-man boat.
Video tape, sell helicopter drive-by tickets, promote as the ultimate cage match.
Reduce California’s debt.

“I don’t know HOW he could have hanged himself in his cell!”

Reference Calvin Perry/Ft. Wayne, Indiana/ killer

Hanged himself in jail (wink-wink, nudge-nudge). a vicious racist who killed a husband/wife and raped/mutilated their two-year old daughter. Was known “to hate Whitey.”

Come on guys, that has to be entertaining!
This one has the potential to be a real life train wreck caught on live TV.
I will be interested to see how this plays out, considering that no dem is going to flip off Hussein under any circumstances.

One at a time, drop them off at the front gate and leave. Some of my neighbors and I will take it from there

I probably haven't been following this closely enough but I can't see how the government can avoid just letting them all go now that they have decided they have all the rights of American citizens? Seven years without charges or a trial, unconstitutional for an American without question. KSM pleads guilty under the duress of illegal torture. Cut him loose.

Obama surely suspects at least a good number of these scum will walk. So does his "base". Hatred of your fellow citizens must be satisfying for some folks.

Half should go to Queen Pelousy’s district and half to Dingy Harry’s. It’s only fair since they were so eager to get them out of Gitmo.

Hopefully they’ll have to register as “terrorist offenders”.
