I apologize if someone has already posted something about this before. I didn't see any recent threads about it in GDF anywhere...While the world was distracted by the terrible Islamic terrorist attacks in Paris and was in mourning in the aftermath, Obama was busy doing something very underhanded and treasonous:

How anyone can not think of him as a traitor after he did something like this is mind-boggling.
"Star calls something he doesn't like treason, even though it does nothing to fit the definition and is actually something Presidents always have the ability to do, news at 11."
Note, Daesh did not exist when these people were detained, and they have no active intelligence on anyone. The military judged them not a threat. They're being deposited no-where near the fighting.
This is called 'getting some retired low-level former enemies off our budget sheet.' Unless you think it's cheap keeping non-threat people in maximum security for their entire lives?
The site is one of those "rightwing, editorialize on existing stories with a ton of sensationalism" ones, but I'm pretty sure we've already had a discussion before.
Here is what the story linked says, as quoted in the sensationalist article:
The New York Times reports:The Department of Defense announced on Sunday that it had transferred five lower-level Yemeni detainees from the Guantánamo Bay prison in Cuba to the United Arab Emirates. The United States had held each for nearly 14 years as wartime prisoners, and none had been charged with a crime.
The resettlement of the Yemeni detainees was the first of its kind to the United Arab Emirates, which had previously taken in just one former Guantánamo detainee, in 2008 — its own citizen.
So, these were five people so minor they never got terrorism charges pinned on them, and they're being sent to the United Arab Emirates, which is on the other side of a giant desert from the fighting.
This is what scares Star.
This is why I consider him "Way too easily scared."
