    Please note that Palau will TEMPORARILY take the Uighurs as a 'humanitarian gesture'.

    This one really, really bugs me - what is the need to close down guantanamo & ship 200mln to this island.

    Also, I would like to apply to take some of the prisoners. I could buy an island, hire a bunch of wonderful ex-marines to gauard the place for life & still have change left over

    as dilbert would say....aaaaaaaaaarh!!!!!! (aaaaaaaaaarh!!!, leveraged, 2X)

    Is this that island nation in the Pacific that's sinking because of global warming?

    The Chinese will torture and kill them...Obama won't allow that...

    LOl....is Obama a bad guy because of that?

    Obama isn't a bad guy because of that (we'll skip the obverse). Obama must realize that Gitmo is preferrable to returning the 17 to the Chinese. (I'm sure the 17 DO, although I know they'd prefer freedom.)

    Why not keep them at Gitmo?

    There are better uses for the $200 million. It's just a drop in the bucket to Obama, but it's money nonetheless.

    Man there's just no creative thinking by this lame-o adminisration in Washington. Look, N. Korea has 2 American (Al Gore employees, anyhow) journalists as prisoner for 12 years right??? I say we try and arrange a swap....the 200 or so prisoners at Gitmo for the 2 journalists. It's potentially a win-win situation. N. Korea gets 200+ strong guys for 2 weaky women. Obama can then close gitmo as promised....PROBLEM SOLVED
