I have been thinking about it and I came up with the conclusions that we were either not contacted or considered too difficult a place to settle them in.
I think we should have taken some of them and get the money.
The Jamaican Government has already accepted in principle a number of British proposals to build and maintain facilities for Jamaicans doing time in prison or been deported to Jamaica from Britain, so there is not much difference, except these Detainees are innocent of all charges brought against them.

LOL!!
the countries they are from are even more dangerous than Jamaica ..so it would their home away from home

put them in the mountains, away from main orads and Jamaica's bread and butter (tourists)
then again, maybe they will become tourist attractions

Re: Guantanimo Bay and Jamaica

when i was living in ja in the late 90s, some cuban illegal immigrants escaped from a police lockup and disappeared, nobaddy could find them. undercurrent was that the cops that were supposed to keep them locked up were paid off.

maybe this is behind the issue of whether the guantanamo detainees should go to jamaica or not. wattating if dem go deh and in two twos u hear dem escape nobaddy can find them.

In Jamaica on the other hand is acrually a collection of individualprisons. It 's a choice between havingthem in a prison wher ethey are in th emixed population, or chooseng isolation cessl in Jamaica.I suppose that the mixed population strategy wins out.

Re: Guantanimo Bay and Jamaica

The first set of former Gitmo detainees that went to Bermuda are not convicted of anything therefore there is no reason to confine them in a prison.
There are there for re-settlement. I was merely playing along with the Detainee and violent Jamaica joke, but these guys are free and clear!

Maybe one of their Islands they own. It doe not have to be the lower 48. I am sure that Alaska or ineiof theIsland in Samoa could hold them.

Aren't you a USA Citizen?
Have you been following up the debate surrounding the detainees and their destinations for trial and or release?
These guys have been found to be illegal detained for seven (7) years now. I am pretty sure if they were welcomed in the USA Territories they would already have been transferred there.

If you feel different about it, I suggest you drop a note of to your Congressional Representative.

Derek, I never picked up on this till you highlighted it. That is really ironic and funny at the same time...even though it should not .
