Blunt said. “Instead, they’re sending the suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo to the lowest bidder”.

Sounds like slavery to me.

Right concept wrong crowd. Those people will be given their freedoms and the ability to enjoy them. We the people will be given the bill, expected to pay for that and everything else and toil for whatever crumbs the gubmint is willing to allow us to keep.

They are free, we are the slaves.

Sounds like slavery to me.

Along w/student visas, passports, and a few bucks spend money??

hah! More like their very own State Deparrtment issued preapproved American Express Card (no monthly limits!), and an engraved certificate of apology, each personally signed by DEAR LEADER – suitable for framing in a prominent location within their new US Government paid for living quarters.

In a statement, Mr Brown said the men have “the opportunity to become naturalised citizens and thereafter afforded the right to travel and leave Bermuda, potentially settling elsewhere.”

In other words, we just paid $200 million to send these Uighers on a meager vacation. For that price I would assume that tips are included. Lets hope they were telling the truth when they said that China’s worse than Gitmo. Then, perhaps, they won’t be holding a grudge against America when they’re voted off the island.

that’s how ended up with the current governor of Washington State.

Didn’t that gov thing in WA state also involve a recount where the losing Dem side kept “finding” votes a la MN Senate race…as a wise person has already pointed out, it’s not the voters that determine elections, it’s the vote counters…

Heh. Made me wonder, just for a fleeting moment, whether ex-Gitmo detainees may wind up on ACORN’s voter rolls? Just sayin’…

It would not surprise me…I recall the dems attempting to get felons on the voter rolls in Florida and Washington State-that’s how ended up with the current governor of Washington State.

but I predict a series of unfortunate accidents.

involving kool-aid???

The Obama administration paid $200 million to the government of Palau in exchange for 17 Chinese Uighurs

For $200 million they can come live at my house – but I predict a series of unfortunate accidents.

The Obama administration US taxpayers paid $200 million to the government of Palau in exchange for 17 Chinese Uighurs – members of a terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda – held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.

Fixed it as a reminder that the Obama administration couldn’t pay for a cup of coffee without the US taxpayers. The government, regardless of which party is in charge, pays for nothing.

Who do I have to terrorize to get a free vacation in Bermuda?

To my understanding that’s life time vacation, those terrorists aren’t going anywhere at our expense.

So what’s the big deal? I think $200 million is a small price to pay to erase the national shame brought on this country by the Bush administration’s illegal Gulags.
