On November 1, MSNBC reported that Gitmo detainees were in line to receive H1N1 vaccine. The article quoted "Army Maj. James Crabtree, a spokesman for the U.S. jail facility in southeast Cuba, said the doses should start arriving this month, with guards and then inmates scheduled for inoculations" and further acknowledged "He acknowledged there may be an "emotional response" from critics who argue that terror suspects should not be allocated swine-flu medications while members of the U.S. public are still waiting due to a vaccine shortage." The full article is shared on the blog, too.
I was outraged at the potential of Gitmo terrorist detainees receiving a vaccine I can't get for my kids! I also posted this on Facebook and got a unanimous response from other "pissed off" people...by the way, I did get one email calling me a "hater" - you figure it out.
Anyway, Reuters News is reporting that "The White House denied on Tuesday that any H1N1 flu vaccine is now going to terrorism suspects held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba, heading off controversy over swine flu prevention priorities."
Public opinion must have gotten the best of them...so, do they get it, or don't they?

I thought back to this BLOG the other day when I heard that the GITMO Detainees are going to be moved to the US. My first thought is-"Why are we bringing more criminals into the US. We have enough of our own."
when these detainees are brought to the US, what will their status be. Are they entitled to the same rights as those who were arrested on US soil? will the ACLU or some other bleeding heart liberal watch dog group come up with some reason why these poor oppressed murderers should be released into American society and put on welfare and given green cards.
How about we turn them loose in the Iragi jungle or the Afghan mountains with a liter of water and a half pound of beef jerky and see what happens. ( and implant a GPS tracker into their pericardium before we do)
