They are Uighurs from the far western provinces of China. According to "human rights" experts, they will be persecuted if they are sent back to China.

He said the administration was looking at the possibility of putting some of the Guantanamo prisoners on trial in U.S. courts. "My guess is that some of those people would be tried in" the U.S. court system, he said.

The Canadian system of government is so different from the US that the personal feelings or beliefs of the minister are of little consequence. It's the Prime Minister and the caucus that make the rules, and in the minority parliament that we have, even that is regulated by the opposition in the House.
Everyone in cabinet is an MP, including the Prime Minister and all are subject to our famed national blood-letting sport, "Question Period" where any and all topics may be attempted.
What he tried to say, as I read it, was that it didn't matter what his personal beliefs are, it's the policy of the government that matters. And he's right.
Besides, our ministers answer to a higher authority already, HRH Queen Elizabeth!

re: #4 eclectic infidel

If your family is like my family, they'll welcome the arrival of the poor mistreated Gitmo detainees into America's communities, purchase their bestselling books about their horrible Gitmo experiences, and write to their alma maters suggesting that the detainees be brought on as faculty members. They'll hold bake sales to raise money for the poor detainees' relocation fees, the lawyers among them will volunteer to sue the U.S. government for tens of millions of dollars on their behalf, on a purely pro bono basis.

However, if a former detainee buys a house in their neighborhood, they'll move away immediately.

How confident are the powers that be that those to be released are truly harmless and innocent?

the whole point of this is ideological and symbolic...there is no rationale behind this release...it is despicable and it will cost BO and his boyz...all this bizzare shit adds up

Every single one of these detainees that is to be freed should be housed within a hundred yards of wherever Eric Holder sleeps at night.

Eric Holder is a coward.

Let's assume for a second that the Obama administration somehow correctly figures out with 100% accuracy which prisoners are genuine scum and which prisoners were just scapegoats in the wrong place at the wrong time (there were a lot of rumors of 'allied' Afghan soldiers pointing fingers at their local enemies during our invasion after 9/11).

I *still* don't want the scapegoats here! Not because they're "evil terrists" or some other such bull, but simply because:
a) they've been in Gitmo for years and if they were innocent people who didn't hate us before, they sure as hell do now (and if they really were innocent, who could even blame them for hating us after what happened to them?)
b) even if they're genuinely nice people *and* somehow got through Gitmo without forming a deep, abiding hatred for the US - the degree to which they'll be targeted by idiots when they get released all but ensures that they *will* form that hatred. Or get killed.

I understand the compassion that makes people want to give any falsely accused in Gitmo their freedom, but there is no version of their future which ends in the United States and ends happily ever after.

I think it's fine. Let them loose in America. ASAP. Let it happen because 9-11 wasn't enough to make a lasting impression on people. Nothing is going to change while we stay at the stasis we've existed in. So if we're not going to fight them over there, let them fight us over here. If we're lucky Americans will wake up before Iran launches its nuke.

Um, okay...

The US government says it cannot return the men to their native China because, as members of the persecuted Uighur ethnic minority, they are likely to face human rights abuses.

So from now on, anyone who is an ethnic minority in his or her country can claim to be persecuted there and therefore be allowed to immigrate to the U.S.?

Experiment in Socialism

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism."

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided that since they could not make an A, they studied less. The second Test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else. All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder people try to succeed the greater their reward but when a government takes all the reward away; no one will try or succeed.

re: #61 TypicalWhiteLiberal

I understand the compassion that makes people want to give any falsely accused in Gitmo their freedom, but there is no version of their future which ends in the United States and ends happily ever after.

I agree, and this judge said it the best:

"An undercurrent of petitioners' arguments is that they deserve to be released into this country after all they have endured at hands of the United States," Randolph wrote. "But such sentiments, however high-minded, do not represent a legal basis for upsetting settled law and overriding the prerogatives of the political branches."

He added, "We do not know whether all petitioners or any of them would qualify for entry or admission under the immigration laws. We do know that there is insufficient evidence to classify them as enemy combatants... But that hardly qualifies petitioners for admission [as legal residents of the US]. Nor does their detention at Guantanamo for many years entitle them to enter the United States."

That is pretty close to borderline material there.

The 17 members of the Uighur ethic group have been cleared for release but have nonetheless remained at Guantanamo while the United States tries to find a country willing to take them. The U.S. government has said it cannot return them to China because they would face persecution there.

"We've been trying to come up with places for them," Holder said of the Uighurs. Their lawyers have asked Obama to bring them to the United States.

Well, could Holder at least send their lawyers to China?

In the case of the Chinese, they've been offered housing by both Chinese immigrant groups and churches.

" Several groups have volunteered to assist in their resettlement in the US, including the 600-member Uyghur-American Association. Seventeen Uighur-American families living in the Washington, D.C., area have offered to take the former Guantánamo detainees into their own homes to help resettle them.

In addition, a Tallahassee, Fla., faith-based group and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services in Baltimore have pledged to help resettle the men in the US. "

Thank you for helping my neighbors with their mortgage payments. You know the ones down the street who in the good times purchased their house for no money down, refinanced it several times, then bought SUV's, ATV's, RV’s, a pool, a big screen plasma TV, two Wave Runners, a boat, and a Harley.

Given my immediate family's strong dislike of anything Bush or Republical related, I could see them buying the books that details horrific abuses sanctoned by Bushitler&Co. I could see them going to talks held at local community events and then telling me all about it afterwards. They are still 110% convinced that Bushitler stole 2 elections.

Don't know why that's such a problem. Stop the car, unlock the cuffs, and scram fuckhead.

Same old, same old.

For decades, liberals have been releasing criminals back into society. The liberals who make these decisions never bear the consequences of their decision. Somebody else, some other poor innocent sap, pays the price when the criminal decides to do his monstrous deeds. The liberals sit around and pat themselves on the back, and marvel at how compassionate they are, and how much better they are than the evil conservatives who want to actually make the bad guys pay for their crimes. Again and again, they ignore the results of their actions. They congratulate themselves for their intentions.

I can relate. I have an uncle who was in the Marines during the Korean War, rides around with all of his Marine stickers on his truck, etc.

He also has always been the type of person who has been selfish, never saved for his own retirement, filed bankruptcy at least twice, and finds no fault of his own for his short comings.

He voted for Obama, "because he wants whats coming to him" and he knows I ran with 2MarDiv, so the USMC on his truck don't get a pass from me, despite the numerous times he feels the need to remind me of his time in.

I let him know not so long ago, that while I was proud he went and defended another country from the scourge of communism, his dumb ass just voted it in here.

And all across the country, Democrats up for re-election are cowering at the latest "gift" from the Obama administration.

I never said word when some on here were almost gleeful when the market tanked allow me to be happy if it goes up. If BHO plan does not work. or can't work, then the market will tank again.

Of course the detainees should be released into the US... right into the White House bedroom next to dear Michele's mother. They should also be able to discuss their preferred dinner menus with the White House chefs, and be personally invited to the Easter Egg Rolling Contest on the White House lawn.

Hill panel testimony to accuse ACORN of mob tactics

A lawyer for a whistleblower on the activist group ACORN is prepared to tell a House panel Thursday that the group provided liberal causes with protest-for-hire services and coerced donations from the targets of demonstrations through a mob-style "protection" racket.

ACORN called it the "muscle for the money" program, according to prepared testimony Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh plans to deliver at a hearing of the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties.

A copy of her prepared testimony was obtained by The Washington Times.

The protest shakedowns are among a slew of accusations that Ms. Heidelbaugh intends to make against the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. She also will accuse the nonprofit group of violating tax, campaign-finance and other laws by sharing a list of President Obama's maxed-out campaign donors to solicit more funds for a get-out-the-vote drive.

The accusations, which are based entirely on sworn court testimony...

In the case of the Chinese, they've been offered housing by both Chinese immigrant groups and churches.

" Several groups have volunteered to assist in their resettlement in the US, including the 600-member Uyghur-American Association. Seventeen Uighur-American families living in the Washington, D.C., area have offered to take the former Guantánamo detainees into their own homes to help resettle them.

In addition, a Tallahassee, Fla., faith-based group and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services in Baltimore have pledged to help resettle the men in the US. "

Oh, I'm just so touched. Let me get a Kleenex.

Are you fucking batshit insane? The Uighurs are going to disappear into the Asian underworld and become enforcers for the drug-dealing tong gangs. They are not going to become sweet little churchified lambs.

Angry NH town residents say child killer must go

Angry residents of a small central New Hampshire town are demanding that authorities remove a convicted child killer from their community.

More than 200 residents of Chichester packed a town selectmen's meeting Tuesday, most of them calling for Raymond Guay's removal during about two hours of emotional testimony. Many parents said their children can't sleep and are afraid to play outside.

"I do not feel safe enough to walk to the mailbox, to allow my children to walk to the mailbox," resident Darlene Phelps said.

This is what happens when a child killer is released into society. How do they think people are going to react to the terrorists next door?

Finally, BHO will say that, as much as he personally hates to do it, he finds it necessary to pardon this unfortunate young man.

Was skimming through some background on this. These detainees got the best lawyers money can buy which leads me to wonder who was paying for their defense. Many of them acquired AK-47 training. Some are seeking 30,000 dollars in addition to asylum in the USA. Other countries they can go is Canada or Germany.

Susan Baker Manning of the mega legal firm Bingham McCutchen LLP represents 6 of the applicants. It's probably a pro-bono case.

The graveyards are full of indispensable men.

I believe Charles de Gaulle was the originator of that saying.

Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego's in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room,

Sometime when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul;

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
Is a measure of how you will be missed.

You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop and you'll find that in no time
It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man.
