Train with al-Qaeda, bask in Bermuda:
Here you have it: four guys enjoying a great day at the beach, on someone else’s dime. New clothes, a new lease on life,
In newly purchased polo shirts and chinos, the four husky men, members of a restive ethnic minority from western China, might blend in except for their scruffy beards. Smelling hibiscus flowers, luxuriating in the freedom to drift through scenic streets and harbors, they expressed wonder at their good fortune in landing here after a captivity that included more than a year in solitary confinement.
Makes you want to join them, doesn’t it?
And they’ll be getting Bermudan citizenship soon enough, too. Hmm….Bermuda has nicer tax laws that we have (even Vladimir Putin realizes that), but I digress.
Couldn’t happen to a bunch of nicer guys, couldn’t it?
I’ll be talking about this in today’s podcast at 11AM Eastern.
How much money did Uncle Sam pay Bermuda to take in these fellas?
I really would love to find out. Good question, John.
