Guantanamo Bay Detainees to get laptops.

When I read I was shocked to the core. Personally, I could not believe that those who have been held as terror suspects are now being doted upon by the very government that they once purportedly conspired against. Many true, patriotic citizens of our country (which they are NOT) cannot afford even a simple computer let alone a laptop. I do not agree with the existence of Gitmo at all, but I do believe these people were detained for some good reason. The only thing that we should do with them when they are to be released is kick them back to wherever they were picked up. They have already cost the taxpayers of the United States untold millions. Enough is enough...send them on their merry way.

I find it suspicious that our new President wants to give these people great big bear hugs and help them rebuild lives here in America. Great, now we can help raise the enemy from the inside. Gee, who needs national security. Heck, we can just give sleeper agents jobs, houses, computers, etc. Let's just save Al Qaeda the job of bankrolling that. We'll do it for them. I'm not opposed to at least covering the plane ticket back to Sandville and maybe reintegrate them into their own society, but screw giving them a life in our country where they might start their alleged activities under the cover of a new life in the country they were allegedly plotting against, not to mention that they were held without rights for years-upon-years. I can't say I would blame them too much for being a wee sore against the U.S. at this point-- which is another reason not to place them in our society-- for fear of backlash and retribution.

Well, there's my two cents.
