Some Guantanamo Prisoners Could Be Released in the U.S.
I’m all for this if they are going to released at about 40,000 feet above the Nevada Desert without a parachute.
This is just more evidence that a Trojan Horse is running this country.
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.
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.
The administration faces intense political resistance to the idea of bringing the prisoners to the United States as part of closing the detention camp. The administration seeks to transfer some detainees to Europe or other countries while freeing others.
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.
Obama to Beef Up Palestinian Authority Terrorist Army
The Trojan Horse is going to send more of your hard earned money to terrorists all while he’s trying to reduce our military’s medical benefits. What a slap in the face to red blooded Americans and Israel!
The Obama administration intends to add as much as $55 million for training of an emerging Palestinian Authority army that trains at an American-built training base in Jordan, Reuters reported. The American strategy has been to strengthen PA forces and prepare them to fight terror and keep the rival Hamas faction at bay. The United States refers to the PA troops as “special forces” and not an army, which is prohibited under the Oslo Accords.
The Hamas militia completely overwhelmed the Fatah militia in Gaza in June, 2007, surprising Americans who already had begun training Fatah forces. United States Middle East envoy George C. Mitchell has asked Lieutenant General Keith Dayton, who has been overseeing the training, to remain at his post for two more years.
Guantanamo Abuse Has Worsened Since Obama Took Office
Hey Liberals… where is your God now? I sure hope Congress holds hearings soon and holds Obama’s feet to the fire on this!
Lawyer says Guantanamo abuse worse since Obama
Abuse of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay has worsened sharply since President Barack Obama took office as prison guards “get their kicks in” before the camp is closed, according to a lawyer who represents detainees.
Abuses began to pick up in December after Obama was elected, human rights lawyer Ahmed Ghappour told Reuters. He cited beatings, the dislocation of limbs, spraying of pepper spray into closed cells, applying pepper spray to toilet paper and over-forcefeeding detainees who are on hunger strike.
The Pentagon said on Monday that it had received renewed reports of prisoner abuse during a recent review of conditions at Guantanamo, but had concluded that all prisoners were being kept in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.
“According to my clients, there has been a ramping up in abuse since President Obama was inaugurated,” said Ghappour, a British-American lawyer with Reprieve, a legal charity that represents 31 detainees at Guantanamo.
“If one was to use one’s imagination, (one) could say that these traumatized, and for lack of a better word barbaric, guards were just basically trying to get their kicks in right now for fear that they won’t be able to later,” he said.
“Certainly in my experience there have been many, many more reported incidents of abuse since the inauguration,” added Ghappour, who has visited Guantanamo six times since late September and based his comments on his own observations and conversations with both prisoners and guards.
Barack Obama Funding Terrorism
The Trojan Horse funnels tax payer money to terrorists. I don’t know about you but I don’t want my money going to fund terrorism. I remember all to clearly how these same people were dancing in the streets on 9/11.

President Obama signed a memorandum today directing more than $20 million for “urgent refugee and migration needs” in Gaza.
