“There is no house arrest,” she said, referring to how these particular terrorists could possibly be monitored and/or put on probation if need be. “We’ll see,” she said in response to John Kerry’s insistence that they’ll be under a watchful eye.
Does that make you feel confident? Yeah, me neither. If I were Dianne Feinstein, I’d be screaming at this administration like a bull in a china shop. She’s probably already doing that on the d/l. You can’t blame her for being skeptical here, especially after being kept in the dark both before the decision to make the trade, and after.
What’s truly amazing is the entire Obama administration’s naive belief that the Gitmo Five won’t pose ANY sort of threat to America. Aside from the terrorist activities that landed them in Guantanamo Bay in the first place, I would imagine that anyone who’s been held captive for years would have a particular grudge or vendetta against their captors. In this case, their hatred of the United States has got to be amplified as a result of us locking them up for so long. It’s like releasing rapists from prison and providing them with the home addresses of the victims who testified against them. Yeah, that’s exactly what it is. I sure hope the Gitmo guards have anonymous identities.
Sorry, Barry, but in this case, we should have kept them in there…and thrown away the key.
