The U.S. Justice Department on Friday made public the names of 55 Guantanamo prisoners who have been approved for transfer to the custody of other countries, releasing information sought by human rights organizations.

The announcement, which reverses a 2009 decision, was a surprise to organizations that had filed FOIA requests seeking the information.

"We did not expect this," said Omar Farah, attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights. "This is an important development."

We just had an ambassador MURDERED any someone transferred to another country from Gitmo and Obama's reaction is to DO MORE OF IT?

His appeasement policy is insane.

Kept in a cage for 10 years with nothing to do but pray to Allah that they be released to kill more infidels...

Nope. Not seeing a problem. In fact, let’s send them to live at 1600 Penn. ave, DC.

Or send them next door to me.

ACORN already has the paperwork ready to go. Pretty soon Ahmed, Mohammed, Sayed, and all the rest of them will be registered Dems

Getting an early start on his plans to scorch the earth between November and January.

There are simply no words to describe the evil he’s brought upon us.

If they are US citizens, probably.

If not, May be.

Maybe some agency will go rogue on Obama and tag and track these guys marking them for a steady dose of Hellfire missiles.

Naaaah, wishful thinking.

Well, he did make some promises in his speech in Cairo a few years ago.

Yes he did make some promises. He is better at keeping them abroad than at home.

It's crazy when the lefty attorney that put in the FOIA request didn't even expect the names released. Yet Obama still releases them. But, oh, yeah, do we have MItt Romney's 1986 tax returns?/S

I lean more toward taking care of his muslim friends. He’s been apologizing all over the place to them, whether in person or by proxy, for months.

This article may be of interest to you. I posted it on another thread. Zawahari’s brother is offering a hudna, truce (yea right). One of the conditions is to release the prisoners.

Or he knows what the change will be when Obozo is defeated in November.

Zawahari may be concerned about our fine military unbridled. It would be devastating for them. Gloves come of. Shock troops gate opened.

When Obama ran in 2008, his two Palestinian roommates from college ran his internet site for donations to his campaign. The donations were from alleged “small donors”, and none of the donors were kept track of, according to election law requirements, so no one knew, but many suspected, that many if not most of these donors were from foreign countries, primarily Arab countries. In other words, illegal donations to his campaign from foreign sources. The same is undoubtedly happening this time; someone should look into how Obama is collecting donations on-line this time around.

Now, the Arabs know they are making illegal donations to his campaign, Obama knows they know, in other words they could blow the whistle on Obama at any time as to how Obama has been collecting donations to his campaign. Thus, they can and undoubtedly are blackmailing Obama for the last four years, and for the next four years if he wins again. The Arabs have undoubtedly subsidized Obama for years now to keep him in office, as many see him as peripherally one of their own, especially with his name, Barak “Hussein” Obama. Just as long as Obama keeps marching to their orders on all things Muzzie, such as Obama’s stance on Israel, Gitmo prisoners, public pro-Muzzie statements, passing of our taxpayer money to Muzzie states, pro-Arab business deals, anti-Israel public statements, generous immigration policy towards Arabs seeking to emigrate to the U.S., treating Jihad terrorism attacks as “criminal cases”, going after Christians in U.S. while doing CAIR’s bidding on Islamic matters, need I go on?

In other words, our President has been in the past, currently is, and will be in the future, blackmailed by the Muzzies to do his bidding, which isn’t a hard stance for Obama to adhere to as he is on their side to begin with. So, a disaster for our country, a true Manchurian Prez and candidate, who will get a pass by the Dem left and the MSM (same thing), while our country is being destroyed before our very eyes. And the sheeple know not what they are about to do, if the demographics have changed that much, and will vote Obama back in. There is only one thing that can thwart this, and that is a massive turnout of the true Americans left in this country on election day. It is a dire necessity for everyone to do their civic duty on November 6th and vote this Manchurian President out of office and into the rubbish heap of history

“and into the rubbish heap of history”

Indeed.

Anita MonCrief, who used to work for Acorn, but turned conservative after witnessing the dishonesty - has spoken openly regarding the ‘small donors’. Youtube has some of her clips.
