It seems Mr. Cheney will have some explaining to do. The Gitmo detainees were sent to Saudi Arabia, where they underwent "art therapy," and then were set free. But now the Republicans have a problem with President Obama wanting to try suspected terrorists in US courts. Maybe if we promise the maximum sentence will be "art therapy," the Republicans will come on board.

1. WTF?
Now the question is will there be any accountability on this?

Naw. Never mind.

4. This is wierd...
They were "al Qaeda leaders?" Aren't we supposed to be killing them?

Instead we send them to a country where 15 of the 19 attackers on 9/11 came from for "art therapy?"

This doesn't sound quite right...

Question. Did they become terrorists before or after Gitmo? nt
I asked this same question in the other thread about this in LBN.

12. That is a valid question!
If you ask those Repugs who absolutely condone torture they don't get the relationship. I honestly believe that torture and murder can turn the most docile individual into a violent extremist.

10. It is a rehabilitation that is based on religious retraining
While not 100% successful it has been very effective for most of the Saudi returnees.

13. Just imagine the media frenzy if they were released by Obama administration
since it happened under Bush,

the CNN website does not even have this story posted.

14. Isn't that special.
Edited on Tue Dec-29-09 03:21 AM by FrenchieCat
Considering that no one died....
I'm just wondering if something did happen,
and lives were lost
as it might.....

Guess Peter King will be on Television crucifying Pres. Obama,
Before Pres. Obama is able to say anything as President.

That shit is scary; the obvious media bias in the difference on
how Democrats and Republicans are treated by these media conglamorates.

Bush shoots up to 90% approval,
and I guess Obama would be under the jail by day 2.
:(

18. I expect the wingnuts will
say nothing in criticism of Bush and still maintain he "kept us safe"
Somehow blame the "Democratic Congress" or retroactively, Obama.

19. Convenient timing....released in '07 would give just enough time to get back in the game for a new
President. I often wonder what other 'Gifts' from the Bush Administration are going to pop up during Pres. Obama's tenure...
