And Obama is thinking of bringing them here?

This has been asked before – and refused.  I just don’t understand why people here are not taking in the fact that these bad actors’ own countries won’t take them back? Especially when quite some number of them are recidivists – we find them dead on the battlefield when they attack our troops.

Amnesty International appealed Monday to Germany and other European nations to provide homes to 50 detainees from the US detention center at Guantanamo Bay.

The men cannot return to their home countries "for fear of torture or other serious human-rights violations," the human-rights group said in Berlin.

Right – they are captured in terrorist training camps or on the battlefield…and their home countries are supposed to be welcoming them home with open arms?  Those countries, understandably, are saying "YES – they aren’t our problem any more!"  And these do gooders just don’t seem to understand that when bad people do evil things, NO ONE WANTS THEM.

It said it was making the appeal with four other rights groups in the expectation that the next US president, Barack Obama, would close the detention center in Cuba.

About 250 people accused of being terrorists are currently held at the camp. Some 80 are expected to face trial by court martial.

And so, they will come here…and will Obama’s Dept of Justice jigger it so that they could go free?

Amnesty said the remainder included 50 from nations such as China, Libya, Russia, Tunisia and Uzbekistan.

The human-rights groups made their call after a two-day workshop in Berlin.

"Guantanamo cannot be closed until these men have a country which will accept them, and where their lives and liberty are not in jeopardy," the statement said.

So, after railing against the US and its camp in Cuba for so many years, is there a partial realization that these combatants might be….dangerous?

Separately, advisers to President-elect Barack Obama have said they were putting together a proposal to ship dozens of the imprisoned terrorism suspects to the US to face criminal trial.

And this is part of the problem – once again, the Democrat idea is that we are fighting against criminals and not Islamofacists enemy combatants.  One is a judicial matter – the other is war.

I just wish those that wish to try these people in our judicial courts would have to house them if found innocent….
