It seems Mr. Cheney will have some explaining to do. The Gitmo detainees were sent to Saudi Arabia, where they underwent "art therapy," and then were set free. But now the Republicans have a problem with President Obama wanting to try suspected terrorists in US courts. Maybe if we promise the maximum sentence will be "art therapy," the Republicans will come on board.

1. WTF?

Now the question is will there be any accountability on this?

Naw. Never mind.

2. I thouhgt the knocked off all the #2 guys in Iraq.

[AzDar]

3. Because the War On Terror has nothing to do with "terror".

:puke:

[KansDem]

4. This is wierd...

They were "al Qaeda leaders?" Aren't we supposed to be killing them?

Instead we send them to a country where 15 of the 19 attackers on 9/11 came from for "art therapy?"

This doesn't sound quite right...

[Thickasabrick]

Question. Did they become terrorists before or after Gitmo? nt

I asked this same question in the other thread about this in LBN.

[malaise]

7. Great question n/t

[MadMaddie]

12. That is a valid question!

If you ask those Repugs who absolutely condone torture they don't get the relationship. I honestly believe that torture and murder can turn the most docile individual into a violent extremist.

5. My schadenfreude is chubby.

20. F?...

6. I remember the 60 minutes story about this Art Therapy Program. I hope they

repeat it. K &R

8. if we wait a few weeks I am sure

the tea bags, palin, cheney and the republican congress will all find a way to hook that up to Clinton and Obama.

9. k&r

10. It is a rehabilitation that is based on religious retraining

While not 100% successful it has been very effective for most of the Saudi returnees.

11. The Saudis have nothing to do with terror

:sarcasm:

[garybeck]

13. Just imagine the media frenzy if they were released by Obama administration

since it happened under Bush,

the CNN website does not even have this story posted.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Isn't that special.

Considering that no one died....
I'm just wondering if something did happen,
and lives were lost
as it might.....

Guess Peter King will be on Television crucifying Pres. Obama,
Before Pres. Obama is able to say anything as President.

That shit is scary; the obvious media bias in the difference on
how Democrats and Republicans are treated by these media conglamorates.

Bush shoots up to 90% approval,
and I guess Obama would be under the jail by day 2.
:(

[Enthusiast]

22. Well imagine that!

"the CNN website does not even have this story posted."

15. K & R

[TexasObserver]

16. Recommend

[lonestarnot]

17. kick

:kick: mechanical man

[edhopper]

18. I expect the wingnuts will

say nothing in criticism of Bush and still maintain he "kept us safe"
Somehow blame the "Democratic Congress" or retroactively, Obama.

[JohnnyBoots]

19. Convenient timing....released in '07 would give just enough time to get back in the game for a new

President. I often wonder what other 'Gifts' from the Bush Administration are going to pop up during Pres. Obama's tenure...

[treestar]

21. so where's cheney and where is his daughter now?

M$M lost interest suddenly?
