Terror inmates may be released in US: intel chief
President Barack Obama’s intelligence chief confirmed Thursday that some Guantanamo inmates may be released on US soil and receive assistance to return to society.
“If we are to release them in the United States, we need some sort of assistance for them to start a new life,” said National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair at his first press conference.
“You can’t just put them on the street,” he added. “All that is work in progress.”
Assistance? From whom? Do they expect us, YOU and I, to support them?

Ummmm….how’s 230 grains of FMJ?
Sounds reasonable to me.
Quite a few Democrat Congresspeople and “anti-war” socialist celebrities with extra houses. Surely they can back up their rhetoric with a little compulsory public service. They can work together to give the releasees a place to stay, learn a little about their beautiful and superior culture, hook them up with a trainer to lose that weight they’ve gained from being fed too well…someone call FOX and pitch it as a reality show.
A most excellent idea. Let them put their money where their (big) mouths are.
Dammit woman – you beat me to this one…
Gotta strike while the iron is hot! Heh.
Well, as I said yesterday, SOME of us have to work for a living!
LOL Well, doesn’t mean you can’t post your own thoughts on the same issue y’know!
If we imprisoned them wrongly, then YES we should set an example and help them.
my two cents.
@carrie
Now, what makes you think they were imprisoned “wrongly”?
@olbroad Very true. Right now I’m fairly incapable of thinking though!
It’s finally coming to light that many people have been detained there with absolutely no proof that they were involved anything more nefarious than living in a battle area.
Yes. We should help those whom we stole years from their life.
This carrie twit should take a flight . Any one taken on the field of battel is put where they need to be , a better option is a 6 over them . As far as our dickhead bHUSSEINo AND HIS SLIME NOTHINGS the shoe sure fits ! Time to get set to impeach and remove anti-americans to be sure they will never be voted in office again . How about that ! This process is past due .
Why does carrie remind me SO much of the very banned heather?
Don’t you think we can set a good example to the rest of the world if we own up to our mistakes? Mistakes such as detaining someone indefinitely with no charges?
Here we go again!
Ok, carrie, heather, or whatever you want to call yourself today….I don’t give a flip about what the rest of the world thinks. If you want to be a ONE WORLD robot, that is your prerogative. If you want to sing Kumbaya, go right ahead. But do not come around here sucking up the oxygen and expect rational people to follow along blindly.
We have “set a good example to the rest of the world”. They don’t give a flip about freedom, and will whack your head off in a heartbeat. Or don’t you understand that? Should I s-p-e-l-l i-t o-u-t r-e-a-l s-l-o-w for you?
Your comments will no longer be approved, so go play someplace else.
The rest of the world doesn’t give a rat’s behind about our “good example”. In case you’ve forgotten, there are EVIL people out there who would like nothing more than to come to this country, and kill every single one of us.
They deserve no quarter.
They deserve no more mercy than they would show us (ZERO).
These people were detained because “If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and acts like a duck, it’s probably a duck”.
Things that would not “hold up in court” here in the USA *WILL* get you killed in other parts of the world.
Get over trying to be “nice” to these vermin. They would happily slit your throat while your children watched.
Heh. drjim, we must have been typing at the same time.
People like carrie and heather would have been smacked up alognside the head during World War II if they’d have suggested we treat the Nazis and the Japs the way they want the jihadists treated.
Yep….Chamberlain was a lot like them (or her), and look what happened. If people like that wanna suck up to murderers, then by all means, she can let ‘em live with her….let HER support them….let HER get her throat slit in the middle of the night for her “kindness”.
I’m neither Carrie and/nor Heather, but would agree with the her/their comment. If we put innocent people in Gitmo, we owe them. See Ex-Bush admin official: Many at Gitmo are innocentand Ex-State Dept. lawyer decries torture after 9/11 and realize these are your guys talking. Just the idea of $5,000 bounties and no evidence trail should raise very bright red flags.
Are you guys suggesting there really could NOT be any innocents there, or are you saying there may be, but too bad, they are just collateral damage?
I messed up that first link. Here they are again.

No, Jim, I know you are neither/nor. And you are quite welcome to agree with her, if you like. I don’t have to. Innocent? Well then, why were those folks there, on the battlefield? I’ll be perfectly honest, and this is no secret….I do not have any trust in Muslims. Yes, I am painting with a broad brush, but I have real good reasons for my distrust, and it started LONG before 9/11.
Jim, thanks for volunteering for the Adopt-an-Uighur Program! Be sure to remove all pork products and alcohol from your home before your family’s new houseguest arrives, but feel free to “make it up to them” any way you feel appropriate.
(Here’s a clue…detainees who were deemed “innocent” were released under Bush. And most of them ended up right back on the battlefield.)
As for why they were there, say the next shepherd over has a better hill and prettier goats. Why not turn him in, no questions asked, and get a cool 5 grand to boot.
As for whether I’d like to take them in myself? Hell no. Of the remaining 240 at Gitmo, we KNOW 2 dozen are the real deal. The other 216, who knows? We can’t tell the guilty from the innocent because the chain of evidence was so poorly maintained. Even the originally innocent ones are likely pretty bitter at this point. I’d never take the risk in the face of such uncertainty.
So what do we do? Black helicopters late at night dropping them off in desolate locations in their countries of origin, perhaps? I don’t know. I just think it’s important to admit we screwed up.
And I forgot. Regarding the “most of them ended up right back on the battlefield” assertion, according to Pentagon in January, 61 released detainees are suspected of returning to the battlefield, though only 18 of those can be confirmed. Even accepting the higher figure, that’s 11%, hardly “most”.
