    FTA
    "Among the detainees whose fate remains undetermined are 17 ethnic Uighurs, from the Central Asian region of China, who have been ordered released by a judge. The U.S. has refused to turn the men over to China, which considers them part of an separatist group."

    So instead of turning them over to China, which they should, they will release these vicious criminals in the US.

    Let the detainees go in the "blue states". The libs are so worried about them, let them take care of them. I'm sure the libs could convince them to change their ways.

      This isn't the only bright idea Holder has had

      Pro-gun Democrats oppose new assault weapon ban

      Sixty-five House Democrats said Wednesday that they would oppose any attempt by the Obama administration to revive a ban on military-style weapons that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1994 and President George W. Bush let expire.

      The pro-gun Democrats, led by Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder that they would "actively oppose any effort to reinstate the 1994 ban, or to pass any similar law."

      They urged the administration to avoid a "long and divisive fight over a gun control issue" at a time when Washington needs to concentrate on the economic crisis.

      The House letter came a day after Montana's two Democratic senators, Max Baucus and Jon Tester, wrote a similar letter to Holder saying the Justice Department should enforce existing laws before considering new gun ownership restrictions. "We will strongly oppose any legislation that will infringe upon the rights of individual gun owners," they said.

      Holder is really pushing gun control

      Releasing terrorist detainees on U.S. soil is asking for trouble and is irresponsible and a sign of poor judgement. I can't believe anyone would go along with this. More talk to take the spotlight off the AIG fiasco?

      This story actually says very little about the release of the detainees. Nothing has been finalized at this point.

        Execute them. If they weren't terrorists before, they will be now because they were unjustly tortured.
