More Washington idiocy.
Why build a new prison for terrorist detainees, when we have already spent $millions to build one in GITMO?
[Wanna bet that the new one will cost many times more than the existing on? Somebody always profits when the government issues a contract. The question should be: “Who?”]
You figure the good liberals of the world, the ones who want to prove to Bin Laden that we’re living up to our highest ideals, latched on to the Gitmo situation as a symbol of us not living up to those “ideals”. So they want the place closed but give no thought to what to do with the guys or where else they could go.
The liberal mind sometimes doesn’t think things through. They are all in favor of closing Gitmo without knowing what would happen after that. They just want to show Bin Laden that we are sorry if we offended the Muslim world.
Why would we need another prison? Just set them free- on an uninhabited rock in the Aleutians. Give each a knife and a blanket. No need for infrastructure, no guards at risk. Oh, and do it unannounced.
I’ve long advocated that as an alternative form of imprisonment to satisfy those who oppose the death penalty.
“Where are they’, the mediots will ask. “Classified information” is the reply.
