Murtha Says He'd Take Guantanamo Prisoners in His District

Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., says he'd be willing to house prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in his congressional district if President Obama makes good on a plan to close the U.S. prison there.

As one of his first acts in office, the president circulated a draft Wednesday that would shut down Guantanamo Bay within a year.

Murtha only has a minimum security prison in his district. But he says he'd have no reservations about holding detainees there in a maximum security prison.

"Sure, I'd take 'em," said Murtha, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war. "They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo."

Murtha is just looking for more money to skim off the top of a big government project.

Corrupt old fool!!

[hercuroc]

That’s good for the dopes in his district-you wanted him,you got him.

[Marysecretary]

What a doofus. They’ll have LOTS of freedom and perks if he has his way. Grrrr. I wonder how his constituents feel about it...

[tips up]

Works for me. Build the prison in the areas that voted for him.

[bigbob]

Let’s bunk a couple of ‘em in his guest bedroom.

Murtha only has a minimum security prison in his district. But he says he'd have no reservations about holding detainees there in a maximum security prison.

So he'll be needing a billion dollars or so to build the nonexistent maximum security prison he plans on holding them in.

[democratsaremyenemy]

The stupid bastards in his district keep electing this cretin, what the hell is wrong with people in Pennsylvania?

[Just A Nobody]

PING...PING...PING...

[silverleaf]

maybe they could build a max security facility next to the planned Flt 93 Memorial. It already is a crescent facing Mecca

[ridesthemiles]

I think the residents of that area should tar and feather Murtha!!!

He will be putting his constituents into danger if some Radicals decide to preform a jail break!!!!

Wonder what kind of poll numbers this would produce if a local talk show were to ask it’s listeners?????

[anniegetyourgun]

I’m sure all those “rednecks” and “racists” he claims to represent want them in their back yard.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

He can do better than that. He can host them in his house. And since he’s in Washington, D.C. most of the year, maybe they can stay with him in his Georgetown bungalow as well.

Just remember, Jack, don’t let them have access to anything sharp, blunt, that they can throw, or is toxic. And speaking of throwing, you might want to have some Plexiglas installed, unless you want to be frequently splattered with feces.

Murtha would probably put them up in a room in his house and provide them with free meals and movie tickets.

"Sure, I'd take 'em," said Murtha, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war. "They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo."

And when they are released for failure to receive a speedy trial, will you help then get housing, jobs and a nice neighborhood mosque with basement machine shop"" Murtha is rapidly replacing Slick and Kerry on my personal dislike list.

[Ann Archy]

OK....right next to his house is OK with me!!!

[Viking2002]

Big fat Murtha is just looking for some new drinking buddies. And if his district sees a sudden influx of shifty Muzzie rabble moving in, building mosques, belching, farting, blowing things up, and generally turning the area into a fleabag Pennsylvaniastan, they deserve every bit of it for re-election the treasonous SOB.

[river rat]

I'll submit an offer for the prisoners - and I won't require any payment..

They will be confined in my back yard, with no unique fences, cells or bars....
Anyone attempting escape will be shot.

[smoothsailing]

I wonder what the 58% of the 12th PA district voters who sent this disgustingly pathetic fool back to Congress think about their vote now.

Jaz, can you ping the Murtha Watch List?

[EDINVA]

frankly, screw his constituents. They’re the ones who keep sending him back to Washington. (sorry for FReepers who live in his district)
