preparing to admit into the United States as many as seven Chinese Muslims who have been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay
Obama has already done plenty of highly questionable things, but this would be amazingly stupid. First, it's completely unnecessary to risk releasing them in the U.S. The Chinese are not only willing to take them back, they have formally requested that the prisoners be returned to China to stand trial "for separatist activities." Releasing them instead will annoy China for no good reason.
Second, the prisoners have been held in Guantanamo since 2002. They've been sitting in a U.S. prison for about seven years. What are the odds that they might have developed some hostility toward the U.S. during that time, whether they were originally hostile or not?
Releasing any prisoners from Guantanamo Bay into the U.S. is insane. Hopefully the administration will come to its senses.
