They are being released in McLean, VA and they will stay with relatives there. McLean is a very nice part of Virginia and I'm certain they will like McLean better that Cuba, except maybe the weather.
Post 8, before someone actually read the article.
this case is troubling...can’t send them back and not much evidence whether they were fighting a holy war or the chinese
you know dirt....nobody talks about it but we have held Mariel boatlift guys never charged with anything in the US in Federal prison since 1980 because we felt they were a threat...
it’s a dark world for those caught between soverignty
Amen, wardaddy. From what I have read, the Chinese wanted the US to classify the Uighar rebels as terrorists in return for not exercising Security Council veto power against US Iraq resolutions after 9/11. I have no problem with letting actual enemy combatants rot in Gitmo. But I also have no desire to empower the executive to hold ANYONE without some semblence of due process - and I’m fine with military tribunals to accomodate that. But this case is very disturbing, and a classic example that the power of the executive to declare someone to be an enemy combatant without recourse of appeal is just too dangerous.
I would be willing to bet ya a cold drink that they ain’t there due their pissy attitudes.........:o)
“I have some insight into this. They should be released.”
I think they should be released too....at high altitude over the Pacific.
I’d wager more than that.............
LOL......:o)
Some nervously laugh, some look at me oddly.
I say it very seriously and look them right in the eyes.....Personally I love the reactions........
Why, are you trolling for underage girls? (or boys??)
Heh...
Members of this group were at a camp in Tora Bora set up by AQ and the Taliban. Some fought the US. Some took part in the Mazari Sharif uprising that led to the death of a CIA officer. They have since attacked guards at Gitmo.
Let them rot.
