HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) — Nearly 1,000 protesters demanded Tuesday that Bermuda's premier resign, saying he should have consulted with high-ranking officials before accepting four released Guantanamo inmates.

Britain has suggested that Bermuda accepted the Uighurs so the U.S. would go soft on their tax haven status, a charge local officials have denied.

Britain's Foreign Secretary David Miliband said he complained to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and feels the territory should not have agreed to the deal without consulting London.

The USA made a deal directly with Bermuda to take these terrorists. This is akin to France making a deal or treaty directly with Puerto Rico, a U.S. Territory. Total poke/spit in the eye to Britain, by Obambi and Company.

Why can’t they be deported by that government?

These people obviously do not appreciate Hope and Change.

Remember the old days, when the Bush Administration was being accused of incompetence? It takes a special kind of genius to get the Bermudians mad at us.

That’s because Obeyme is still sore about his terrorist tribesman Granddaddy being screwed by the Brits.

This is Husseins idea of keeping America safe, giving the terrorists ice cream after secretly releasing them into a foreign country without permission.

That’s it! That’s why Obama never met a third-World dictator he didn’t like.

Notice how they apparently bear the scars of their mistreatment at Gitmo. Oh, the humanity!

I wonder how many Bermudians were killed during the attack on the World Trade Center on 911?

Actually we lost Two in Trade Centre attack. If you consider that there are only 65,000 people in Bermuda 2 is a lot. We feel your pain. For the most part Bermudians are not happy about these guys roaming around our island! This deal was keep secret from everyone hear. Check out Bermuda Royal Gazette or BDA Sun. BDA Governor has passed on ruling from the UK.
