A Republican sends over this video of the State Department press briefing today, in which Assistant Secretary P.J. Crowley calls Gitmo detainees "refugees" at about the 24-minute mark.
QUESTION: Talk to us a little bit about response and talks and any commitments that you may have gotten from our European and other friends in the international community about taking in Guantanamo detainees as the camp in Guantanamo is expected to close at some point in the near future. Have you gotten any commitments from our European friends and anybody else?
CROWLEY: Ambassador Dan Fried continues his efforts to resettle, you know, Guantanamo refugees to various places around the world.

Certifiable commies.
This is part of the anti-American propaganda Hussein's Politburo is propagating.

Then put them in a Refugee Camp in the suburbs of DC, right where all of you live. Nothing to fear, right guys?

I believe the term Duncan Hunter used to describe the State Dept. was ‘knuckleheads’. Janet Nappin’attheAlamo has also recently stated illegal aliens are to be called refugees...

Assistant Secretary P.J. Crowley calls Gitmo detainees "refugees" I just wonder what would a bunch of ******** have to have done, blown up, burned down, executed, beheaded, detonated, shot, killed, or bombed to be called a damn POW?
