US eyes plan to empty Guantanamo prison: report

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US government is developing a "long-range plan" to empty its war-on-terror prison at its naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba, and seeking help on what to do with inmates who won't be tried, The Washington Post reported Friday.

President George W. Bush's administration may ask Congress to "spell out procedures for scores of suspected terrorists whom the government does not plan to bring to trial," the report said, citing unnamed administration officials and others familiar with high-level White House talks on the thorny issue.

If they are allowed to get out, which the Supreme Court said, then they will kill Americans again. So in what cities should they be released????

Send 'em to Justice Kennedy's house, and to those of the four total nutjobs on the Supreme Court.

Once it is empty Gitmo would be the perfect place to house the US Congress until they come up with an energy plan.

Distribute a few to each state with a Democratic Senator. Keep them in the minimum security prison closest to the Senator’s home.

Exactly.

I want all of the Gitmo muslims placed in Justice Kennedy's living room.

The democrats are literally responsible for the death of Americans with such a disastrous move.

These muslims will kill Americans again. They have stated this many times to the guards and other members of the prison's staff.

Put them all on skids in a cargo aircraft. At about 35000 feet over the ocean, open the rear door, tilt the aircraft up and...Woops! Where did they all go?

Once more I’m going to take the unpopular position: Guantanamo was always a foolish try by the Bush administration (unusual, that!) to hide the US government from the US Constitution. Can’t be done.

Eminent domain land right next to the Weasel Ranch (David Souter in NH) and build a nice confortable resort in the rolling mountainsides just like the Afghan-Pakistani border area. The terrorists can stop in to visit the Weasel since he’s such a loner he could use some company.

I think a few M-14’s would do a good job of emptying Guantanamo.

Hand them over to the Supreme Court, with their wisdom of Solomon they should not have any difficulty reaching a decision.

Suggestion. After they are placed in the water, have a few cropdusters fly over and spray pig blood on the water. Defiles ‘em and attracts company at the same time...

some of them have had lots of time to covertly communicate... I wonder how many pre-defined cells we would release to regroup, and seek orders and funding.

Deport them to NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco and other sanctuary cities.

I strongly believe that their final resting place should be closely associated with a pig farm on Pitcairn Island.

Of course if they didn’t want to eat pork, they could begin a long slow fast.

According to Congressman Major Owens (D - NY) the sharks are gathered there in the old slave routes still waiting to be fed. (And they keep sending him back to Congress?)

what a mess:
1. who will take them
2. we can’t send them to countries “that torture”
3. they are either guilty, or upset enough by now to do something (even if they were shepherds caught by mistake.) Unfortunately, we will hear from them again.
