Military intelligence officials have quietly told Congress they advised against transferring 25 of the 60 Guantanamo Bay terror detainees deemed eligible for relocation by the Obama administration, including five who are considered to be highly dangerous and likely to return to the battlefield.
But the Defense Intelligence Agency officials did not raise any formal objections with the administration because they concluded the decision to move prisoners already had been made, according to a letter Sen. Tom Coburn, a member of the intelligence committee, sent Tuesday to Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair.
In the letter, obtained by The Washington Times, the Oklahoma Republican senator questions whether the White House put political considerations ahead of national security.

Of course - if anything goes wrong, he’ll simply blame the military/Bush/the CIA for not insisting hard enough.
We are at a pivotal crossroads in our nation's history. A very steep, very hard and dangerous roads leads one way...an abject fatal precipice leads the other.
FREEPER NOUMENON'S ASSESSMENT OF THIS POINT IN HISTORY - POST 15
("C'mon boy, run!") Old taunt by Georgia state patrol. They took no prisoners, either.
Turn em loosein Hyannis Port,, in the middle of the night.
PING
Time the GOP takes out ads on national TV to warn the American people. GOP better find their gonads over these treasonous events.
The list, ping
He’s a fascist. He manages every aspect of our economy. Banks, lending institutions, Wall street, Corporations, what cars will be made, what dealerships will remain open...
Of course he doesn’t listen to the our intelligence experts. He’s “the One”.
Besides, TOTUS hasn’t sanctioned it.
Since the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Jopint Chiefs are political appointments serving at the pleasure of the President, if they don't tell ZERO what he wants to here, they are OUTTA THERE.
ZERO is setting this country up for a terrorist attack: terrorists and drug cartel coming across the Mexican border; Al Qaeda detainees coming in the front door.
Oy vey!
Cloud, silver lining....good for us in the "long run".
Actually, that's a pretty good damn idea! You should send it to the GOP, see if they have any of those "steel" things left in them.
It’s all about him, what he wants, and how he’s perceived by his friends (including ones in foreign, hostile countries).
I truly believe he doesn’t care one whit about what happens to the country unless it interferes with advancing his agenda.
We are in deep doo doo until at least 2011 when a new congress is sworn in.
The US Border Patrol just discovered another tunnel under the border in a city in south east Arizona. It is the 16th discovered since October and that's in just one small city in one state.
Where's the damn fence, Washington?
I'm sure that no terrorist would ever think to contact a drug cartel to find a way into the US. /sarc
Now you understand what I have been trying, to no avail, to tell anyone and everyone who could read, listen, or speak. 0 is a MUSLIM. He will follow that "religion of piss" down to its bloody end and the entire WORLD is at risk, not just the US.
CAIR, along with muslim terror orgs around the world, has formally blessed his Cairo speech and if you do not think that every muslim in the WORLD doesn't understand the call to Jihad, then I am still whistling past the graveyard.
They are all over Central and South America. They are in the Islands off our coasts. The intent is to RULE THE WORLD!
They don't HAVE to come across the border. They are HERE. They are ensconced in enclaves/training camps/madrassas all across this country that no law enforcement has been able to monitor.
Get ready, because it IS coming.
Here is the perfect example....
The MILITARY follows orders even when they know the country is at risk.
All of our classified and Top Secret documents are at the disposal of our worst nightmare. The names and locations of our people....
Tunnels worked for Hamas, so obviously they’re working for the drug cartels.
There are probably a lot of us, who would believe, what our military intel agencies tell any president versus what the politically correct FBI and CIA might say.
I agree.
We may be in for another time like the Church & Pike Committees ‘balled up’ the works. Although this time it will be Clintonian with various administrative orders (i.e., the Gorelick Wall). More Executive meddling than Congressional.
It boggles the mind this time around with what the Administration can do (because of who is sitting in the Office). Congress can really sit back.
Thanks.
I keep thinking of the Carter years and what he did to the CIA, FBI and AG’s office, and then the Clintonian years.
Amen to that...
Colonel, USAFR
