7. Out of sight, out of mind.

Now they can get down to some SERIOUS pain infliction.

9. these are the guys who attacked us - craziness continues n/t

[Sam Ervin jret]

10. Now we know what Bush got instead of an increase in oil production during the

gas price run up.

Do you think the Bin Laden group will have a key to the front door of the prison made for the prodigal son and his friends?

[JerseygirlCT]

11. Oh good grief.

That's terrifying, it really is. Outsourcing justice to the Saudis? In some ways, it's too perfect an illustration of what a farce justice has become under Bush.

But... oh my.

[knixphan]

28. Ditto. Oh my...

[ohio2007]

13. But Gitmos doesn't hold 18,000 citizens of Saudi Arabia. ...wtf ?

snip
Riyadh is to spend ...... which can accommodate up to 18,000 inmates, they added.

Currently, less then 350 detainees are from "the Big House" of Saud.

They going to throw all their 'sleeper cell' extended families in prison ?

Wonder if they are ready to go home to such accomodations.

[AlphaCentauri]

14. In the Saudi democracy we trust

[TechBear_Seattle]

18. Wait, I thought Saudi Arabia was a theocra.... oh. n/t

[AlphaCentauri]

22. aaaahhh!! no problem as long as they have oil and make contributions to political campaigns

:sarcasm:

[defendandprotect]

15. Who in the hell approved this . .. ???

[Hawkeye-X]

17. I'll give you 3 guesses, and the first two doesn't count...

:evilgrin:

[Hawkeye-X]

16. By the time Saudi Arabia finishes building it

They won't have anyone but their own citizens to put into - Gitmo Bay will be closed, and the detainees released by President Obama as a true amnesty because the detainess has nothing to do with 9/11 except they once went to Pakistan and/or farted with Bin Laden.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

19. Yes, and...

Those Afghani curries called a Phal will certainly give you a bit of wind, after they get done burning you face and head completely off your body.

Which is a blessing, because you don't have to get rid of the curry the next day.

[countmyvote4real]

23. no no no no no

This must not happen. This is bad.

I wonder who gets the crematorium contract?

[crimsonblue]

25. they ressurected Hitler for that one.

[crimsonblue]

24. hahaha

I can only laugh... So let me get this straight... The country that financed and actively aided the 9/11 plotters is going to be in charge of imprisoning supposed 9/11 plotters? Am I in the fucking Twilight Zone yet?

[bertman]

26. Since Gitmo is supposedly for U.S.-captured terrists, does this mean we get to capture 16000 more?

Sounds like there might be some DU names on the list that W and Dick are makin' and checkin' twice.

Can you say "outsourcing incarceration and torture of enemies of the state"?

I'll bet it would really be hard for your momma and daddy to find you if you ended up in a Saudi "detention center".

Scary shit.

[LynnTheDem]

27. So the nation that continues to finance al Qaeda, that most the 911 hijackers came from,

that beheads people, that George W. bUsh calls his "good ally", will do the torturing, raping, murdering, disappearing of people in our names.

Well gee, that oughta make us safer.



America; rogue nation, torture state.

[windoe]

30. No more pretense, the mask is removed

for those who have eyes to see. Gods help us all.

[galledgoblin]

31. what the hell?!

definitely going to follow this story close!
