UNITED STATES RESETTLES FOUR UIGHUR DETAINEES FROM GUANTANAMO BAY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BERMUDA
WASHINGTON - The Department of Justice today announced that four detainees, Chinese nationals of Uighur ethnicity who had been held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, have been resettled in Bermuda.
These detainees, who were subject to release as a result of court orders, had been cleared for release by the prior administration, which determined they would no longer treat them as enemy combatants. The detainees were again cleared for release this year after review by the interagency Guantanamo Review Task Force.

I heard we were paying Palau 200 million to take 17 of them off out hands.
China has offered to take them back. They even promised not to mistreat them (heh, heh). Sounds like a better plan to me. “We have some good news and some bad news. The good news is you can leave Gitmo. The bad news is, here’s your ticket home.”
No doubt the Attorney General has found them a job as bodyguards for a powerful American politician. Could Charlie be the one?
If they’re going to Bermuda, they’re all going to need a new set of golf clubs.
China is using the war on Islamofundamentalist terror as an excuse to paper over its repressive policy toward the Uighurs.
I guess Bermuda bid lower than 200 million.
and a cell phone.
They drive on the left. Look out !
If you’re in the sand on 13 it’s not like Obama can get a hold of you by calling the club house.
If you were stuck on an Island with Gitmo detainees what would you do?
Who is going to want to go on a beach vacation in Bermuda knowing at least four Muzzie terrorists are waiting to go ballistic against their bikini-wearing wife or girlfriend?
Know that they would not even have dust on their sandals before they cought a plane out to where ever they wanted to go.
REMEMBER China wanted them back but Obama played lawyer the ACLU way and God; and said no, he did not want them executed.
“Chinese nationals of Uighur ethnicity who had been held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, have been resettled in Bermuda.”
Damn. You can’t even buy a house in Bermuda if you aren’t a citizen, yet they let in terrorists? Perhaps the good life has rotted their brains?
What is odd is no where in the report does it state that the prisoners will be incarcerated.
and we are paying more than the country’s GNP to take them!
