I agree with Cleats comment, either send them to Husein obamas house since he is going to be living in the white house for awhile or L.A, San Fransisco, New York, Hollywood.
Did these Muslim terrorist ever given our people a fair trial??????? NO! They executed them in front of a camera and then placed the video on TV for all of us to see. I do not understand what is wrong with these liberal judges any more.Perhaps they should have them living in their homes!!
LET THE MILITARY give them a trial.

“…Why shouldn’t we let the provably innocent go?”

At the least, we should make them pay for all the food they ate…

The whole idea of Gitmo was a screw-up by Gonzalez. We should have tried them in the field and executed the guilty post haste.

Have we already forgotten 9/11 and the subsequent declaration of war against the United States? Whether they wear a uniform or not, they are enemy combatants.

“Send them to Los Angeles, Hollywood, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York!”

Ho ho! Hopefully they’ll kill someone!

Seriously, Cleats, what could possibly make you think this is an acceptable thing to say?

Also, keep in mind that

a) These people are probably going to be relocated to Bosnia.
b) Bosnia’s investigations have cleared them of terrorist involvement.
c) The US government no longer believes that they were plotting to destroy the US embassy in Sarajevo, which was the original reason they were captured. The evidence against them comes from one source, who was anonymous.

I’m not going to argue about the broader issue of Boumediene v. Bush, but it seems fairly clear that there wasn’t enough evidence to hold these people. Why shouldn’t we let the provably innocent go?

I’m for Change We Need. I think they should turn all the 200 Gitmo nice guys loose. Send them to Los Angeles, Hollywood, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York!

I trust the military tribunals much more.

Do you know that many military lawyers have refused to participate in these kangaroo trials?

“Larry Lynn,

Judging from your post, neither do you.”

Judge Leon sure does MarkJ.

Isreal allows captured terrorists access to their legal system, so why can’t we do the same?

Yeah, I suggest we put these dudes in “affordable housing” near Obama’s Hyde Park digs.

Hey, since they’re supposedly innocent, I’m sure Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn will be delighted to have them over for coffee and show them around the neighborhood.

either appeal the decision or

Release them to an ‘empty lot’ in Chicago,
it is not quite ‘40 acres and a mule’ but
it is next door to a donkey.
