Interesting article. Now they can go home and continue their jihad against our troops.

I wonder if there's a connection here to the extradiction or trial of Pearl's killers? Muscharraf seems to be backpeddling--maybe waiting for his operatives to be returned?

After reading the article, it appears most of those sent back are visa overstayers and illegal immigrants, not the Gitmo style terrorists. If no terrorist ties are found, it is logical to release them and kick their arses out of the country.

Would you want them to be let go here and wage a jihad against American civilians.

You all are so funny. People are being deported back to Pakistan and yet this is a mistake in your eyes.

I believe Pakistan was on the State Department list of terrorist states until Muscharraf suddenly repented after 9/11. In addition, it is well documented that Pakistan was a major supporter of the Taliban and the al-Qaeda training camps. Therefore, I see no reason for not exercising extra caution with his illegal immigrants and overstayed visa holders. I'd have held them until the course of Pakistan is a bit clearer--or at least until our borders are under control.

Would you consider it likely that some of us would rather just shoot the bastards where we find them?

How about we air-mail them to the caves above Gardez, strapped to cruise missiles (the pro-jihad ones, that is)?

Must be a capture-recapture procedure to estimate how many fish are in the pond. Don't know why else you'd let 'em go.

How about cause I'm tired of paying for their air conditioning and color TV. Send them all back where they came from and let them work for a living. Why do we need to support every illegal dip-*hit that manages to sneek into the country?

Not true. Pakistan was never on that list. Perhaps it deserved to be, but it was not.
