The president’s Guantanamo policy is in trouble. Politico reports:
Sen. Sessions Releases Second Letter To AG Eric Holder
It is the job of the Attorney General to uphold and defend the rule of law and to defend this Nation against terrorist influences. You acknowledged as much during your confirmation hearing in January. Nonetheless you appear to be pressing for the release of trained militants who are inadmissible under our immigration laws and who have demonstrated hostility toward Western culture and even basic women’s rights. This danger and hostility was illustrated in an April 24, 2009 story in the Los Angeles Times:
“Not long after being granted access to TV, some of the Uighurs
were watching a soccer game. When a woman with bare arms was shown on the
screen, one of the group grabbed the television and threw it to the ground,
according to the officials.”
According to the Los Angeles Times article, military officials at Guantanamo thereafter censored television shows and displayed only pre-taped programs that would not offend the detainees. If these detainees cannot handle mere televised depictions of Western culture without violent outbursts, why is our government – including you as Attorney General – considering releasing them into our towns and cities?
