We Only Want the Nice Ones...
After years of sanctimonious preaching about our treatment of the terrorists held at Gitmo, we get this today: E.U.: U.S. Must Show Guantanamo Detainees Pose No Risk
“European Union leaders said Monday they are willing to take prisoners being released from the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo Bay _ but only after detailed screening to ensure they don't import a terrorist.”
(Ed. Note: But the reason they were at the camp in the first place was because we believed they were….oh, what’s the use…)
Of course, the beauty of all this is that those left over because the EU wouldn’t take them will presumptively be considered terrorists…and then what? The Obama Administration brings them to the US? We’ve got a less-than-one year deadline now solidly embedded on our collective calendar as a result of the President’s grandstanding executive order. Liberal NIMBYism when it comes to wind power will pale in comparison to that to be exhibited by the communities selected for the noble sacrifice of ensuring President Obama makes good on his Gitmo campaign pledges.
