WASHINGTON - A large federal security operation is in place to keep tabs on several Guantanamo Bay inmates who may soon be released in Virginia, the Daily News has learned.

A half-dozen ethnic Chinese detainees known as Uyghurs will be flown by marshals from the U.S. naval base in Cuba to live in the Washington suburbs if lingering legal, logistical and political problems are ironed out, government officials said Thursday.

Some lawmakers and counter-terror officials worry about terrorists living next door. Northern Virginia was chosen because it has an Uyghur Muslim community that could help the ex-prisoners adjust.

They will be close to the White House and Congress. Close to their dear friends, Snowe, Collins, McCain, Pelosi, Reed and Fwank. :)

Good. They will be sent to Alexandria VA. A City that went 90% for 0bama. Good for them, now they have to live with the consequences of voting for 0.

Yes, if it wasn’t bad enough that they are coming here, give them a native population that they can operate in and hide among.

My God this is just madness.

I didn’t vote for it, and if you are going on the basis of vote, they’d have to be parceled out across to all the blue states.

"PARTED" out would work better for me.

If they would stay in DC, I would be willing to laugh at this. However, I doubt they will.

Can't say I didn't have a bid of schadenfreude when I saw the headline, though.

Obama is making it easier for the terrorists to strike again. More people should look again at the pictures of people hanging out of the windows of the World Trade Center on 9/11/01, as they tried to decide whether being burned to death or jumping to their death was the best option. Who among us would want to face that horrendous choice?

Pelosi should be waterboarded to get her to tell the truth.

Have we forgotten that the terrorists killed over 3,000 Americans, and would have killed hundreds of thousands of us if George W. Bush and our brave soldiers had not gone after them? What will it take, another 9/11 or worse before Congress “remembers” what happened on 9/11/01? Is everyone asleep while the terrorists plot to kill millions of us? What is Obama doing to prevent another 9/11, other than to throw rocks at President Bush, presumably “blaming” Bush for keeping us safe?

I noticed there was no mention as to what these “poor folks” were doing in terrorist training camps and that the reason they aren’t being sent back to China is become they would be killed.

Oh my gawd. Is that just asking for trouble, or what? Why not just strap the bombs on them ourselves? Oboma can pay for them with the stimulus package.

Yes, until the ACLU wins the lawsuit to make the authorities back off.

www.islamicfinder.org

lol great site that, but I suspect I don’t use it in the manner they intended! haha! Actually, where I am (Lake Ridge) there aren’t very many, a bit further south, into Woodbridge and Dale City though... and wow.

Now about this group...Chinese? I’m guessing the drop site is Annandale? Home of the Islamic Foundation of America and the Mustafa Center Masjid according to the website listed above.

Could it be possible Oboma is trying to finish the job his muslim brothers failed to accomplish on 9/11? I've heard the muslims never give up on a target.

Has Oboma done anything at all that's good for this country? Anything? He's spent everything we had (and everything the next 10 generations are going to have) and the only thing he's cut is national defense. Now we're broke and unarmed.
