It is amazing how one can continue to ignore verifiable, indisputable FACT that so many of those in Gitmo were nowhere near a battlefield when they were apprehended by Pakistani or Afghans and turned over to the US.

Yeah, like KSM. He wasn’t captured in a shoot out in an open battle field. He was just an innocent guy trying to get some sleep when people barged in on him, IIRC.

It is the lefties that think that these people are just misunderstood by-standers that weren’t doing a darned thing and the big, bad Americans just wisked them away to a faraway land.

Do the delusions feel nice and warm and comforting?

Looks like I caught someone befor their coffee. Look if you think that it’s me and my ilk that are the ones saying that we should just let them go try again. If you think that we are just making it up to make you and your’s sound rediculous, nice try. It is the lefties that think that these people are just misunderstood by-standers that weren’t doing a darned thing and the big, bad Americans just wisked them away to a faraway land. Just like the bad guys on COPS. After being chased and tackle by the man they ask, “What’d I do?”

I may sound stupid but if they would have been shot in the first place we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Her comments are so like the dimbats. Just because a “reporter” doesn’t know means nobody knows. I’m quite sure Obama doesn’t know because, before he became Pres/Messiah he had no real interest in knowing and still doesn’t. He followed up on a vapid “campaign” promise to look good without thinking about consequences–just a nice sound bite.

Every one of the military officers at Gitmo knows exactly who each of the detainees are and why they are there. They also know the havoc these detainees will reign when they are sent to US soil. Maybe Ovmit should make a phone call and find out exactly who he is unleashing on innocent Americans. I suggest that they all be sent to Hyde Park I understand that there is a large empty house available with extra land where they will be real comfortable. Right in the neighborhood of another terroist. They should all get along just fine.

OK, so how many of the Gitmo crew do you want to bring to US soil so they can lawyer up?

I’d be happy to keep them at Gitmo if they were guaranteed certain procedural protections and a meaningful opportunity to challenge their detention. but that was the whole point of Gitmo, wasn’t it? A place under US control that the government could claim wasn’t under US control.

Got an extra room? Maybe you and that scum sucking Murtha can come up with an exit strategy for that. Maybe you think just turning them loose and saying “Sorry, our bad.” will keep America safe.

This stupid “we want to turn them loose” meme that you rely on is absolutely inane. But again, wrap yourself up in lies and delusions, if it helps you sleep at night. But just know you sound like an idiot. i guess if you’re cool with that…

Not every Pakistani or Afghan can be on the take. And our boys that brought them in can’t all be wrong or gullible to disgruntled neighbors – at least give our guys in the field credit.

Of course not. But you throw out huge financial incentives to people living in a poor, tribalized society and you don’t expect there to be a few mistakes? That is no reflection on “our guys”. But once our guys have done their job, why should that stop our government from doing theirs and actually have to show these guys are a threat?

So are we just to take the word of Afghans or Pakistanis who were promised huge bounties in return for turning over Al-Quaeda or Taliban members?

No less than we state-side, when we allow criminals to testify against their cohorts for lighter sentences. Not every Pakistani or Afghan can be on the take. And our boys that brought them in can’t all be wrong or gullible to disgruntled neighbors – at least give our guys in the field credit.

That is my opinion.
