* U.S. accused of 'riding roughshod' over UK as Guantanamo detainees are sent to Bermuda in secret deal
* But Washington insists deal was kept from London in an effort to protect UK's relationship with China
* Bermudian opposition tables no confidence motion in Prime Minister as deal ignites political firestorm on the island
* PM admits he may not have agreed to take detainees in had he known the controversy it would cause
* EU agrees to take in detainees

They look like ordinary tourists as they stroll along the seafront on the British territory of Bermuda, but these four men are far from regular sunseekers for they have spent the last seven years locked up in Guantanamo Bay.

The former terror suspects are Uighurs - members of China's Muslim Turkic-speaking minority - and hail from a rugged province in the far west of the country ...

The abuse at Gitmo must be absolutely HORRIFIC! These poor guys are in terrible shape after being in captivity for so long -- malnourished, weak and broken men.

It's amazing they have the strength to enjoy a backstroke or lift their own ice cream cone...

[neodad]

Club Gitmo indeed.

[RobinOfKingston]

It’s just a matter of time. tick-tock-tick-tock-ti.....

It's amazing they have the strength to enjoy a backstroke or lift their own ice cream cone...

They can do anything now, they're ROCK STARS!

[VicVega]

Go to GITMO and become a celebrity. Weekly talk show with them hosting coming up.

Can’t wait for the 17 and the coverage they will get when they go to Palau.

We know at least one detainee is on a game on Xbox.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Gettin’ captured was the best thing that ever happened to these creeps!

He and his companions have traded drab prison jumpsuits for comfortable cotton pants and knit shirts, and razor wire-encircled jail compounds for beach cottages, where they are staying at U.S. taxpayers' expense.

I thought we were "out of money."

[Cheetahcat]

Amazing our Government is led by a mental cripple.

Uighers wobble but they don’t fall down.

Look how well fed they are. Too bad all of our four American POWs in Iraq are DEAD!

[Oldexpat]

Just what did we give Brown of Bermuda for this effort?
Who’s paying their bills..it ain’t cheap to live in Bermuda.

[wxgesr]

So, if I go to Afghanistan and shoot at some coalition forces, I can end up on a tropical beach for life, free of charge?

Sweeeet!

[Tzimisce]

So I, being a terrorist since I’m on Free Republic going to be sent to Bermuda?

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[EDINVA]

I have to say, of all the newspaper headlines, I like The Examiner’s best.

How in God’s name did we got to where we are today ??

[Freedom2specul8]

I wonder what the percentage is of folks who are forgetting the connection between gitmo, 9-11 and islam and why they were being held in the first place.

We know the New Yorkers didn’t forget when the low flying aircraft flew around the statue of liberty. They had flashbacks, and I bet more than one had nightmares from it.

[surrey]

How long before they’re on a Delta flight to JFK?

[chiefqc]

I'm sure that all the people related to those who were murdered on 9/11 are thankful that our elected American hating, Godless, clueless, arrogant, phony TOTUS for the caring position he has shown to these and other murders of American people. Word are not enough to explain my embarrassment to tell anyone that he is the one who America has chosen as its leader.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Amazing our Government is led by a mental cripple.

Or a sleeper jihadist!
