Reuters: Some Guantanamo prisoners could be released in U.S.
Topics: Political News and commentariesI call this proof that the Obama administration isn't fit to lead the country and fight Islamic extremism in such a way as to protect us from further attacks at home:
[...] (Reuters) - Some of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners could be released into the United States while others could be put on trial in the American court system, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Wednesday.Releasing terrorists to roam the neighborhoods of the U.S. while trying others in the U.S. court system are options that would never be considered by a responsible and rational administration. Of course in the case of Obama and his motly crew of leftists, anything other than the rational is to be expected.Holder, who was chosen by President Barack Obama to lead the administration's efforts to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba within a year, said the review of what to do with each of the prisoners had begun.
About 240 terrorism suspects, including suspected planners of the September 11 attacks, are being held in the prison. Many have been detained for seven years without charges and some were subjected to interrogation techniques denounced by critics as torture.
[...] Holder told reporters at the Justice Department that the administration's review, made on a case-by-case basis, would determine whether the prisoners need to be put on trial or whether they can be released.
"For those who are in that second category, who can be released, there are a variety of options that we have. Among them is the possibility that we could release them into this country," he said.
Holder said it was possible the 17 Chinese Muslims who have been held for years at Guantanamo, and two or three others prisoners, could be freed in the United States.
