Why not just throw them in the middle of the Atlantic? Be done with it. If Allah wants their asses to live they will. If Allah wants them in paradise some sharks will get a good meal
The Federal Government only exists to serve the States. 35 States are now exercising their sovereignty under the tenth amendment of the Constitution which states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. The "Federal Government" cannot just drop these prisoners off in any state it wants to without the states and/or the peoples consent.

Al-Qaeda has tried to ransom many of our soldiers. Our military just won't negotiate, so our soldiers fight instead of surrendering.
If given the chance, there's no doubt they'd try to ransom civilians.
Also, aside from that, if what you say is true, Hezbollah, Hamas & every other radical Islamist group would stop capturing & attempting to ransom all their enemies.

That's true, but not in the twisted way you try to suggest.
We need to get back to smaller less intrusive fed govt, less fed regulation, fewer fed taxes, less fed intervention & much higher personal & family moral standards.
...It takes a large, well trained, well equipped military force, to keep their crazed terrorist pals from breaking them out, or holding large local groups of hostages, to negotiate them out.
Eric! For Christ's sake, call Limbaugh what he is - a drug-addled fat cat who doesn't care about anything other than his contract and his ratings. We need at least two political parties in this country. And the Republicans are losing sight of their roots. Being hijacked by talk radio, the NRA, big business and the religious right is a sure-fire way to commit politcal suicide. Please, wake up. Take control. DO SOMETHING!!! ANYTHING!!!

Nonsense. Cantor is being pragmatic. There's no good reason to bring the terrorist here. if you believe otherwise, feel free to explain.

The only :fearful", "hopeless" & "incompetent" ppl I see, are those within the American Left.
They ignored & allowed Al-Qaeda to grow stronger, throughout the 90's. Despite numerous attacks.
Our own misguided Left even blocked our FBI & CIA from sharing communications regarding Al-Qaeda activities, with the terrible Gorelick "Wall".

Apparently Eric Cantor doesn't think the US prison system can do its job. No other congressman from Virginia panders as much as Cantor.
