Gitmo Detainees Might Just Get Some Hand Outs

Unreal! Not only will Gitmo grads be released inside the United States.But, Team Obama thinks they may need some welfare.The Weekly Standard Blog caught this in an AP report:
During his news conference, Blair also said the Obama administration is still wrestling with what to do with the remaining 240 detainees at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, which the president has ordered closed.Some of the detainees, deemed non-threatening, may be released into the United States as free men, Blair confirmed.That would happen when they can't be returned to their home countries, because the governments either won't take them or the U.S. fears they will be abused or tortured. That is the case with 17 Uighurs (WEE'-gurz), Chinese Muslim separatists who were cleared for release from the jail long ago. The U.S. can't find a country willing to take them, and it will not turn them over to China.Blair said the former prisoners would have [to] get some sort of assistance to start their new lives in the United States.“We can't put them out on the street,” he said.Isn't there some way we can make sure they are released in DC?
