Do you want terrorist suspects as neighbors?

Isn't this just peachy?

A judge granted Obama's request to suspend the war crimes trial of a young Canadian. The judge issued a one-sentence order for the 120-day continuance without so much as a hearing, possibly the beginning of the end for the former administration's system of trials for alleged terrorists.

A draft executive order made clear the new president intends to go further. It called for closing the facility within a year, releasing some of the 245 detainees still there and transferring others to different sites for trial.

Pushing back pre-emptively, House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said the draft order raises difficult questions.

"The key question is where do you put these terrorists?" he said. "Do you bring them inside our borders? Do you release them back into the battlefield? ... Most local communities around America don't want dangerous terrorists imported into their neighborhoods, and I can't blame them."

    No, I don't.

    I can't believe people think that terrorists, who specialize in suicide bombings, don't sh** in their own back yards. That statement hurts my brain, just to consider.

    As far as putting them in general pop, with our own criminals, you might take into consideration the percentage of muslims within our prison population. Do we really want to expose them to a "true muslim warrior" or some other iconic title? Nothing like sending them in to train our very own criminals on how to better hate and more efficiently kill.

    No thank you. Keep them outside our borders, please, and NEVER let them in.

    it rather is a question of numbers. there became in easy terms one Timothy McVeigh. at present time the situation of start protection, FBI, CIA NSA, etc. have over six hundred,000 skill Islamic terrorists on their watch checklist. so some distance as i'm in contact, in the event that they are center eastern in visual attraction, they are skill terrorists. in the event that they sneezed incorrect, i could record'em.

    Obama needs to let those familiar continue doing the job of keeping us safe. Who the heck does he think he is? Does he truly believe terrorism is a lie or, is that just what he's trying to purport?

    Sure. Punk kids will think twice about tearing up my yard if they know my neighbor might go "Alluwah Akbar!" on their butts.

    To answer Mr. Boehner's questions, I believe keeping them in prison within our own borders would be fine. If we throw the Gitmo terrorists in with the general population of our state pens, I don't think we will need to worry about them for very long.

    Those are Boener's words, not Obama's.

    This is the same Boener who said OMG! (like a teenager) at the new bailout bill but turned a blind eye to the cost of the TARP bill.

    I SAW WHERE THAT IDIOT CONGRESSMAN JOHN MURTHA (D-PA.) WANTS THEM IN HIS DISTRICT IN A MINIMUM SECURITY PRISON. I SAY SINCE THE PEOPLE IN HIS DISTRICT KEEP VOTING FOR THIS SENILE OLD FOOL THEN THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO PUT THEM.

    You are probably safer with them as neighbors than anywhere else. Most people don't sh*t in their own bed, likewise terrorists probably don't bomb their own neighborhood.
