Default What city to put terrorists

This is a no-brainer. Of course, it would be Washington, DC. They would be right at home there in the murder capital of the country. And ever more importantly, it might scare the Congress to leave the city in droves; and guess what? While they're gone, there won't be any wild spending of our tax dollars and won't that be nice?

Chicago would be right at home for them also, but the politicians there are busy spending the Illinois taxpayers dollars, which is OK with me.

According to the article, Obama is thinking about Washington DC or Arlington, VA.

Jihad Watch: Obama refuses to accept findings that Gitmo inmates are too dangerous to release inside the U.S.
Reviewing the Uighurs detention, the inter-agency panel found that they weren’t the ignorant, innocent goatherds the White House believed them to be. The committee determined they were too dangerous to release because they were members of the ETIM terrorist group, the “East Turkistan Islamic Movement,” and because their presence at the al-Qaeda training camp was no accident. There is now no ETIM terrorist cell in the United States: there will be one if these Uighurs are released into the United States....

A little more about the Uighurs, and perhaps about the ETIM terrorist group they supposedly belong to that area experts had never heard of until the Chinese Government apparently invented it.

Accusations of police brutality by the Chinese fit a pattern in the war on terrorism. On January 16th, Human Rights Watch criticized governments including Russia, Uzbekistan and Egypt for cracking down on opposition groups under the rubric of antiterrorist solidarity. "In Xinjiang, political prisoners have been executed," says Mickey Spiegel, research consultant for Human Rights Watch. She said there are serious questions surrounding Chinese government charges of Uighur terrorist acts. In many cases there is no evidence that there have been acts of violence. She added that it is very difficult to get information about the names of prisoners, the charges brought against them and their legal fate.

Excellent article on the unfair maligning and vilification of the Uigher freedom fighters of east turkestan. A people who have seen oppression shared by their counterparts, the tibetans.

So the Bush Admininstration admitted the Chinese were not enemy combatants and never charged them.

So why is the OP referring to them as terrorists?

Well his attorney has the Hamas connections!
