Unfortunately, the Punch-drunk Pinhead of Pennsylvania Avenue, as usual, is going to get this one wrong. In his very first press conference, National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair said we're going to give them a shot at the American Dream. Personally, I think they will find our country far too socialist for their tastes, but I haven't spent enough time in third-world hellholes to make a real comparison.
President Barack Obama's intelligence chief confirmed Thursday that some Guantanamo inmates may be released on US soil and receive assistance to return to society.
"If we are to release them in the United States, we need some sort of assistance for them to start a new life," said National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair at his first press conference.
"You can't just put them on the street," he added. "All that is work in progress."
Obama has vowed to close the controversial prison camp by next January and has ordered individual reviews for cases against each of the over 240 remaining prisoners.
Blair told reporters that the review of Guantanamo cases was still underway, and that the government was "building dossiers on each of the detainees."
The Obama administration is currently evaluating what could be done with the prisoners, he said, but pledged that if they are sent to another country, "we have to be sure that that country will treat them in a humane fashion."
It just wouldn't be nice to hurt them...after all, they've spent several years being pampered at Club Gitmo. At the rate O'Dumbo is burning international bridges, it'll take some kind of miracle to find any foreign nation willing to take 'em back, regardless of the conditions imposed. You can read the rest here, if you've the stomach for it.
