Hill sources tell me that Congressional leaders were told today that Guantanamo detainees from China - the Uighurs - are likely to soon be released into the United States, most likely to the Virginia suburbs. These notifications follow this front page story today in the Los Angeles Times. It is already clear that Republicans are prepared to pounce on this decision. Without referencing today's notifications, Republican Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., released a statement this afternoon arguing that the release of the Guantanamo detainees will not make America safer. No word yet from Hill Democrats. Pentagon sources tell ABC's Luis Martinez that the decision is "a toe in the water, not a done deal."

There you go America. Change you can Believe in! The Bush Administration believed these people were dangerous enough to keep detained in Gitmo. Obama's Administration believes it is time for Change. They are safe enough to release right onto the Streets of the Good Ole USA.
