Compare their story to that of John McCain as a prisoner of war who WAS tortured!
"It Don't Gitmo Better Than This!"
Four of the Uighur terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay have been released in Bermuda. All expenses paid by the U.S. taxpayer.
Life in paradise as Guantanamo Four take a dip, eat ice cream, and plan first Uighur restaurant in British territory of Bermuda The Daily Mail 15th June 2009...[The four men] 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.
The four Uighurs (pronounced WEE'-gurs) also have immediate priorities, such as learning to drive, scuba dive and bowl, said Glenn Brangman, a former military official who is helping reintroduce them to the world outside prison.
For now, the men are savouring the most basic of experiences, interpreter Rushan Abbas said. They walked through a forest, touched trees and plants and expressed their amazement at a woman riding a horse.
They look pretty healthy to me considering how they just got out of what some people falsely claim is a torture chamber.
Constrast their appearance with that of John McCain after he was released from a North Vietnamese prison camp where he WAS tortured:

# “There’s two kinds of work in America: hard work and smart work. Which one are you doing now?”
# “This not a country club! This my house!”
# “Today I’m gonna show you how to drive a sports car. First, you need a lot of money!”
# “Don’t listen to your friends. They’re losers!”
# “Do you think these girls like me? NO, they like my money!”
# “At first I got lots of discouragement from friends and stranger who are loser! You know what these people kept telling me? They kept saying, ‘Well Tom Vu, you a crazy nut, here you are, a poor immigrant, poor minority, speak no English, no contact, on and on, and you trying to be rich in America! You crazy, man! Look at people out there! They smarter than you are, they not even rich! Who are you to try?’ And you know what? I have to keep telling these people every time, I kept saying, ‘You are loser! Get out of my way! I make it somehow!’”
LOL....Yep.......we’ll see these asshats again IMO.
I know I will probably get flamed for this but I believe these guys were cleared and determined not to be AlQueda. From what I have read they were trying to get away from the persecution of the ChiComs and ended up hiding out in the no mans land in Pakistan and Afganistan.
I would not trust Zero’s admin to determine this but this has gone on for quite a while. These guys should be released to a third party country and be given at least a little help getting setup. It is the least we can do if we were wrong.
Be nice to the terrorist and they will in return be nice to US. Go figure this line of thinking. It’s sick & getting sicker. Just think we have 3.5 years to go with this logic. The general population of America must be insane or just plain dumb.
Gitmo was “Club WELL Fed.”
They flew in ethnic food from the ME, and the prisoners weigh more than they ever did in their lives.
first problem is that probably quarter of the country either aren't American or hate us anyhow because they refuse to assimilate.
and half of the rest are fat dumb and stupid....America's collective IQ has nose dived along with our common sense even though we are so "educated" now
go to a white trash Wal Mart and just watch the gross folks waddle in and out..do they ever stop stuffing their mouths long enough to know anything except reality TV?
and our privileged youth have been brainwashed by the leftist culture from diapers to adulthood (around age 35 these days)
We live in a land controlled by our enemies and fools..
They will be the death of us, literally.
No finer example on why Islamists should never achieve protected prisoner status..
With Hussein Obama’s Thugocracy in place, there is no wonder why our enemies gloat and smirk at the prospect of enslaving or destroying us.
We've reached the edge of the Roman's cliff to destruction - who became so soft, corrupt, carnal, pleasure seeking, complacent and dependent on their immigrant servants and mercenaries that they could no longer defend themselves against the barbarians.
Without riots or worse to alter the course - I fear we may have already crossed the Rubicon.
you’re saying what many of us fear
i think about it every time I see my kids and think about their future
i just moved to rural Tennessee to escape Nashville’s urban liberal crap
but I know this is only a temporary panacea
most of the nation is not like Williamson county TN
I often wonder how a 10 million man pro-RKBA march would go
No doubt about it...
This Thugocracy will brook no threat to their seizure of power.
Even if an election could dethrone Obama, I have no doubt that riots would follow in protest.
If we just continue drifting down this river, we’re probably finished as a free nation. But some Black Swan might pop up, to provide a period of shock therapy. Time will tell. Until then, all you can do is move your family to an area that you hope will weather the coming storm.
The United States is seen in the moslem world as a teacher who let anyone cheat on his exams, rewarding them with an A.
Pretty soon that teacher will find that they are no longer teaching, but instead have been demoted to janitor
picking up the trash.
I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Uighur
That is what I truly want to be
Cuz instead of being held here at Club Gitmo
Everyone would be in love with me!
