#2 I just figured it out, these idiots are using a Ouija Board to make their decisions.

#3 I say we all chip in and rent a house on Holder's block and let them move in there.

#5 Not at all surprising. We knew this was coming, hence the recent terms of reference changes concerning terrorists, "enemy combatants," etc, and deletion of the term "GWOT." No worries, they'll meld right in with all the other criminals being released in California.

#10 If a single Gitmo hard boy is released into the US and then commits a single act of terrorism, President Obama will be done. Holder will be impeached and removed as AG, and Obama can kiss his political legacy good bye.

Obama is already racing towards being the earliest lame duck in recent history. This is his political legacy.

Coach K was asked about Obama's final four picks on sports center and responded that while he respected and admired the President, he thought Obama should be working on the economy, not college basketball.

#11 Short rope, long drop.

#12 One thing to remember is if Bush had already tried these guys instead of giving them 3 hots and a cot for 7 years, Barry would not have this. Why is this not already a done deal?

Bush failed to follow through after capturing them and this is the consequence.

#13 If a single Gitmo hard boy is released into the US and then commits a single act of terrorism, President Obama will be done. Holder will be impeached and removed as AG, and Obama can kiss his political legacy good bye. I don't see it that way. Obama is super-good at deflecting blame. The identity of any terror perp will be transmogrified into something else, as will the very definition of 'terrorism.'

#14 "Among them is the possibility that we could release them into this country," he said.

Whaddya think the media reaction would be if AshKKKroft had said something like this?

#15 AH9418 is correct. They are not, after all, 'terrorists' - they are accused ... um ... insurgents.

If and when they do something - and get caught - well, that might be a problem, but you'd almost have to catch 40-50 of 'em at the same time with the TNT (etc.) in their hands entering the basketball tournement.

#16 Send them to Minnesota. Franken needs the votes. Then let them leave for Somalia after they have voted.

#17 Another lead trial balloon like the veteran's insurance scam he wanted to test. He'll get crushed like a bug on this one too.

#18 Watch the tall buildings in your neighborhood. These terrorists will probably end up getting jobs with ACORN which will be subsidized by our Federal Government. This is insanity.

#19 The administration seeks to transfer some detainees to Europe or other countries

Yemen? Qatar? These guys have a thin playbook on this one. Look for Obama to swing at whats in his wheelhousebreak his campaign promise, rescind his executive order, and blame it on Bush.

#20 Catch & Release Program.

I assume there will be open season as well?

#21 Fortunately or unfortunately - depending on your POV, if any of these guys are released here, the Feds will likely do their jobs well and prevent anything that may otherwise have happened. Saving Obamas ass in the process.
