Bermuda Gitmo thugs to open restaurant

Where is your proof that Obama gave these 4 money for a restaurant? Don't make such statements unless you have proof and can back them up. List the proof or you statement is NOT valid.

Couldn't you just puke? Every single one of our soldiers would love to go there and deserves to go there even if it's for a short vacation. The scum of the Earth get to go and their probably basking in the sunshine in their man dresses... Watch how fast the "religion of peace" causes war, suffering and unrest there and turns it into a crap hole like Iran...

It's the least these INNOCENT people deserve, for all they have been put through

Wow! I guess these guys have a lot of money to start a business in Bermuda. My sister happens to live in Bermuda. She is an accountant and she keeps on complaining about the high cost of living there. She told me that the cost of living in Bermuda is almost double than of Boston where she used to live. So where did this guys got all the money to start a restaurant in Bermuda? You need thousands of dollars just to get a good place in that island.

It's not clear if we're giving them any funds or not. Look here: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6499129.ece I haven't found anything that says we're funding their entrepreneur efforts, but it could be conveniently left out. You can't trust the media. On a more tactful note, these men were never charged with anything and lost 7 years of their lives in prison. IF they are peaceful and good people, I wouldn't mind helping fund their efforts at a new life. But if they truly are terrorists I would be angry at such a gesture.

where this is now in present?.

I'm a bit on the fence with this one. While I know that we did in fact pay Bermuda to take these 4, I don't know how the government of Bermuda distributed said funds to them or even if it did in fact give it to them. I am also not so sure these were the worst of the worst. In fact, the group they represent really has nothing to do with the United States, they are an anti-china/ pro independence group. Militant....yes, very much so...but they were a group aposed to the comunist government in china, so I don't really see them as a threat to the U.S. Sure, they are probably a little peaved at us now because we locked them up for 7 years with out a trial (I'd be pretty pisssed too). But as to how much aof a threat they posed to us, I'm really not so sure they rank high on our list of concerns as aposed to more direct threats such as Al Quieda and Taliban operatives we captured.

To think either side innocent of torture is ridiculous. After a few search runs, I could find nothing to indicate that these 4 guys were guilty of, other than having similar names of SUSPECTED militant muslims. They had been cleared for many years, but were stuck in limbo because they feared going back to the home lands. China offered to take them but they (former detainees) said China was a worse option than Gitmo. The Bahamian govt most likely saw the writing on the wall, they to are in financial straits, with tourism down considerably, they are reliant upon the (lagging) banking industry to prop up everything else. Logistically a smart move. BTW, the detainees are quoted as saying they, collectively, "hold no ill will against the US". I was never at gitmo, so I do not KNOW that these four men threw anything at anyone at any time.
