I know this is old news. VP Cheney said they weren't closing GITMO.

I posted this because I want to know if this is what we can expect from the "new wave" of Hispanic Republicans that, according to Borderless Bush, are "the future of our party".

Are they bunch of RINO's, or is it just this guy?

"How much do you get out of having that facility there? Is it serving all the purposes you thought it would serve when initially you began it, or can this be done some other way a little better?"

I don't see anything RINO in here. It's essentially what Bush said that they always review all options for the facility. It could have been worded better but it's the writer's opinion that he wants to close it, Mel is just asking an open question and the dutitfull fifth column MSM is eager for another Bush takedown.

This is just typical moronic "feel good" thinking. Sort of like last year's clamor to shut down Abu Gharib.

Unless we're going to RELEASE these terrorists, they will have to be housed SOMEWHERE. Gitmo is as good a place as any.

Why not stop fighting the war on terror altogether? That way we could ensure that no negative pr occurs vis-a-vis jihadists who want to kill us.

Martinez is a joke.He is the worst Senator on the GOP side .
He has been in office since January and he screws up in a major way every week.

I have to think this has something to do with Mel Martinez is Cuban. From his website:

Mel Martinez came to Florida from his native Cuba at age 15 as a part of "Operation Peter Pan," a humanitarian program led by the Catholic Church that helped over 14,000 Cuban children escape Communist Cuba. Martinez lived with foster families for four years until he and his family were reunited in Orlando. When he arrived he came with only one suitcase, the clothes on his back and an enduring love of the game of baseball.

I am wondering if there might be some reason having to do he is virulently anti Castro for his stand. I don't know what it could be, though. He might not be saying.

...and moving the poor victims to a Wynn-designed, Mecca-facing resort/rehab facility in Las Vegas...

Is there some disease floating around D.C. that strikes only Republicans and causes the backbone (and other parts of the male anatomy) to shrivel up and fall off?

I'm sure our other enemies, present and future, worldwide are smiling as they watch this country contort itself trying to play nice with those who would kill us. The list of useful idiots grows daily. Future enemies will have the playbook on how to break this country's will to fight before the first shots are fired.

Hey Mel, Can we house these enemy combatants in your neighborhood in a halfway house type of setting?

Martinez says he is 'disappointed' that it is taking so long to draw down our number of troops in Iraq. I thought they were doing just that?

I am beginning to think they coiuld close Gitmo--and send 'em all someplace the'd fit in like maybe Washington D.C.--or Northern Cal. ; or maybe Oregon or Massachussets.

"Republican Senator Suggests Closing Gitmo"

Not a bad idea. Let's close GiTMO and re-open Alcatraz. No guards. Just drop food and water and let them fight it out daily.

Yes, his "constituents" may be calling him.

On the other hand.. I wonder if one of Hillary's 600 FBI Files has a name on it.. like this Republican. Things are, in fact, being "shaken" down in the state of NC.

Lessee... first President Clinton removes manufacturing and textiles (NC prime industry) from NC and gives them to... CHINA.

Then...

If the detainees are moved to another location, that will quickly become the focus of the media attacks. I thought the advantage of Guantanamo Bay was that U.S. legal protections don't apply because it isn't U.S. territory...if moved elsewhere, the prisoners would have an easier time filing frivolous lawsuits.

Maybe we can lease some land from Israel in the Negev and move the prisoners there. Or there could be an uninhabited island in French Polynesia we could lease from France--that is almost exactly on the opposite site of the globe from Mecca, so the prisoners would never be able to figure out which direction to face when they prayed.
