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.

“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,”….Why should we expect anything different? We won’t even get serious about closing our borders! Hell, why don’t we also furnish them with some weapons that they might need so they won’t have to break any of our so-called “laws” in an attempt to obtain weapons?
While we’re at it, let’s not forget they will need “bail-out” money….seems there’s plenty of that to go around!
When are we going to wake up????!!!!
This ranks right up there with Janet’s politically correct, “Man Made” Disaster classification of terrorist attacks, and OBama’s stated position of Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. Sure, 12.5 Million Main Street Americans out of work while SEVEN MILLION CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE JOBS, and LETS GIVE THEM AMNESTY.
Now, lets release terrorist on American Soil….only if we dump them in the water in Cuba and MAKE THEM SWIM FOR IT!
