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 get training for "green jobs". They will have kids in VA Halal Academy. Their mortgages will be paid by taxpayers as reparations.

Thanks a lot, hopey changemas.

I thought we had already passed a law, years ago, stating enemy combatants could NOT be released into the United States!???

If they are Chinese, why aren’t they being sent BACK to the Chinese government?

I’m sure the Chinese would deal with terrorists in ways that would reduce their potential for terrorism.

Isn’t that the whole idea? Send thse people back to their respective countries for incarceration?

from what I read these yoots were definitely receiving al Qaeda training when captured in Afghanistan, some or all of them may hav actually engagedcin comabt with our troops in Afghanistan (declassify the teports, obama)

their groups’ grandiose plan was to attack the Bejing Olympics. Hopefully China has this group of nutjobs thoroughly under surveillance and infiltration in the USA. Pity if any of them were to suffer a deadly auto accident or fire, etc, after those 7 yrs in GITMO ....

“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..”

I today’s political climate terrorists seem to be more welcome than illegal Mexicans.

If one of those “Unjustly held detainees” happen to kill just one American, the chosen one is done. He won’t even be able to finish his one and only first term.

To help them adjust? Or recruit?

One name comes to mind: Willie Horton.

Why do Democrats love to put violent criminals and terrorists in the streets among law-abiding citizens?

The Uyghurs were trained at an Afghan camp before 9/11, though the "widespread belief" is they were focused on fighting the Communist Chinese, not attacking America, the official said.

After years of being held in Gitmo I am sure these people have no beef with the US.........

Wow, I used to live in Northern Virginia when I was a kid, and I just stopped by Alexandria last night for a beer with an old Army buddy. I was just thinking I wouldn’t mind living there again if I end up working in the D.C. area.

Thanks for ruining THAT, Hussein!

We're afraid China would execute them. It reminds me of when France refused to extradite Ira Einhorn until we promised not to execute him.
