Gitmo Detainee Reintegration Program

If you are a Saudi citizen detained in Gitmo, your fate may have just made a 180-degree turn. In accordance with a new "unpublicized" agreement between the Bush administration and its friends the Saudis, many of the Saudi detainees are being released to enter a program back home wherein they are given a hero's welcome and governmental support, including a monthly stipend, a job and help in finding a bride if they don't have one already, in order to help them "adjust to modern society and learn the meanings of Islam."

Sandra L. Hodgkinson, deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, says, "We strongly appreciate them finding a way to mitigate the threats that these people pose. We believe this is a very, very good program."

It doesn't sound very Republican to me. Kind of socialist. You know, there are so many angles to attack this development, even if it were a very, very good program. Terrorists from other countries will just have to sit it out, I guess. And I wonder if some of our stateside inmates might like to see a very, very good program to reintegrate them into our society.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
