Bermuda and Palau may not be the only beautiful tropical islands to host illegal Islamist combatants being released from US custody at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station. If a Hawaii County Councilman and a Kauai County activist get their way, some would get a new home—and complete freedom--on two of Hawaii’s most beautiful islands.
Robert Greenwell represents the North Kona district where activists recently protested against training US military personnel at Pohakuloa Training Area. They may not want US soldiers and marines, but al-Qaeda fighters are welcome.

Sometimes I am speechless. This is one of those times. So now we should set the Gitmo guys loose in a tropical paradise. The people who protest military training in their area want Gitmo dudes. Unbelievable.
Smoking crack is apparently still en vogue...
the bad guys get to go to Hawaii
the United States’ version of screw up and move up..........
They don’t want our troops, but oh boy they want that Missle Defense!
Hawaii voters, I am sure, have NOT been asked about this nor will be they be asked. I don’t care what anybody says (heh) I know Hawaii people and this would not be cool at all. Only for the hippie Mainland transplants.
Missile, what I meant to type....
They'll want those U.S. soldiers very quickly if they get those Al-Qaeda people there - must be smoking too many Kona buds over there.
LOL, they can kiss tourism goodbye if they do this.
What do the libs have against tourism, anyway? First Las Vegas; now the islands of Hawaii.
I dare that chickensh*t in the White House to take these bozos up on their offer. Come on B.O., send the terrorists to Hawaii. Hawaii is the only place on Earth that wants those scumbags. SEND THEM! Do it!
you are totally correct
This guy did not mention a word about this until he
announced that HE had made the offer.
A recall effort is now being mounted
This will not go unchallenged

Kelly Greenwell - Insane or Reckless?
West Hawaii Today reports that Kona’s sterling councilperson, Kelly Greenwell, is proposing that Guantanamo prisoners be released here on the Big Island, not for incarceration, but for the healing process to begin, our island being such a beacon of tolerance and love. Having them here would give us a”new stew” where “various cultures can meet and learn to get along.”
Admittedly, the Big Island seems to be lacking in medieval-minded religious fanatics intent on destroying tolerance and secularism, and wishing to deny women the right to go to school or drive a car. I for one am fairly happy with that situation.
On a positive note, Greenwell admits that the idea might “seem insane.” That’s good, the first step to getting well being admitting you’re sick and all that. What’s the procedure for having a councilman’s mental status evaluated?
Ping
You’d think that someone born in 1941 would know better.

Local Boar hunters support Greenwell’s offer, as long as the prisoners are dressed in bright yellow and are released on the “open game” area.
Exactly right.
I’m 4th generation from HI; it is my home. I know no one who supports this idiocy, nor the recent attempt to create an “Islam Day.”
We don’t need numbnuts pretending to speak for the state of Hawai’i “in spirit” without bothering to check or let people actually vote on those issues.
