* U.S. accused of 'riding roughshod' over UK as Guantanamo detainees are sent to Bermuda in secret deal

The abuse at Gitmo must be absolutely HORRIFIC! These poor guys are in terrible shape after being in captivity for so long -- malnourished, weak and broken men.
It's amazing they have the strength to enjoy a backstroke or lift their own ice cream cone...

Go to GITMO and become a celebrity. Weekly talk show with them hosting coming up.
Can’t wait for the 17 and the coverage they will get when they go to Palau.
We know at least one detainee is on a game on Xbox.

He and his companions have traded drab prison jumpsuits for comfortable cotton pants and knit shirts, and razor wire-encircled jail compounds for beach cottages, where they are staying at U.S. taxpayers' expense. I thought we were "out of money."

I wonder what the percentage is of folks who are forgetting the connection between gitmo, 9-11 and islam and why they were being held in the first place.
We know the New Yorkers didn’t forget when the low flying aircraft flew around the statue of liberty. They had flashbacks, and I bet more than one had nightmares from it.

I'm sure that all the people related to those who were murdered on 9/11 are thankful that our elected American hating, Godless, clueless, arrogant, phony TOTUS for the caring position he has shown to these and other murders of American people. Word are not enough to explain my embarrassment to tell anyone that he is the one who America has chosen as its leader.
