#1 Excellent. EU resettlement efforts could mean that these terrorists will get EU passports, and the visa-free entry into the US that these passports bring with them.

#3 Exactly the problem with sending them to Britain, or anywhere in the EU: they will immediately apply for "refugee" status, demand a huge payment, and be set free. After all the poor dears were tortured unmercifully for seven years at Gitmo; they deserve no less.
Of course, if we had actually followed the Geneva Convention, these illegal combatants would have been lying in an unmarked grave since shortly after they were captured.

#5 Let us wish them much joy from their decision, all of which they have amply earnt. After refusing the hated President Bush for what clearly was no reason other than a desire to deny him anything he asked for, they now scramble to give to President Obama what he hasn't even asked for? Did they not learn in school that nobody likes a suck-up?
