Terror plotters released from Gitmo in 2007
 

How many times have we seen Dick Cheney's mug plastered across our TV
screens over the past 12 months, spewing garbage about the Obama
administration putting the lives of the American people at risk?

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up
a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the
U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to
American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda
claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement
that vowed more attacks on Americans.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo
to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation
program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.

Somehow this brings to mind what Cheney had to say just weeks after
President Obama took office:

When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to
an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States
against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to
kill Americans, then I worry.

So, how's that protecting America one still life painting class at a
time working out, eh, Dick?

Of course the question now is, will Cheney again be booked on every
Fox News to peddle more criticism of President Obama, or will this
little "oops" moment mean that Dick is slithering back to his
undisclosed location?

He should go to jail for his treasonous crimes.

Gee and here Bob Gates has been pushing since May to transfer 97
Yemeni detainees to the Saudi rehab program; as of 10 days ago the
plan was to send six Yemenis back to Yemen itself with possibly scores
more to follow. Any reason to worry about that?

Hello?

Miss the point? Bob Gates isn't on TV telling people our policies are
making the country unsafe...

I imagine Cheney would say, left up to him, he would have killed all
of them. In retrospect, not a horrible idea. Certainly no worse that
the innocents we kill trying to hit a terrorist in Afghanistan or
Yemen.
Maybe we could just load the whole stinking bunch up on a C5 and have
a tragic accident where the air crew were the only ones who managed to
punch out safely.



How about a glider towed by a C-5. Those are expensive airplanes.

If our politicians had balls, they would have them hauled out and
shot/hung/rope/leathal injection. And then told the UN that is what we
do with terrorists, shoot them dead and are considering adding
supporters and their families that aided and abetted.

Then maybe we might feel like our politicians are serious about it.
