Of course the next door neighbor is Tony Rezko, a known crook and shyster.
But that shouldn't be an impediment as the previous occupant was (and still is) a lying shyster too.

Put them in your neighborhood, Eric
Maybe we’ll end up buying them multimillion dollar villas in Monaco where they can be detained in style.
Plead away.....
Sheesh....
Tammy Bruce said last night they should be offered housing next door to Sidwell Friends school. That’s the one Obama’s girls attend. These detainees are violent and crashed a TV set to the floor that only televised a woman with bare arms. Imagine what they will do in America where women actually walk around with bare arms.
Just one more request from this administration to give our European ‘allies’ something to laugh about! Will these junior high comedy clubbers ever figure out they are soon to be the laughing stock for the entire global community and not just our European buddies?
Eric should take them into his home, 24/7, without guards.
Why should they help? The United States has become a paper tiger in just 100 days...but hey, the president is so so popular.
I love the fact that they are facing exactly what Cheney was facing and talked about dozens of times over the past four years. He said (paraphrase), ‘We’d love to close Guantanamo but where are we going to put them?’ If it was as simple as just declaring it, it would have been closed years ago. Obama needs to learn that just saying something with an over supply of false confidence doesn’t make it
so. “Just Words” will become Obama’s “Mission Accomplished” which was Bush’s “Depends on your definition of the word IS”. All victims of 24 hour media!!
Oh, and one parting warning...if you think the consequences of becoming a paper tiger ends with nowhere to put detainees, you are sadly mistaken. This is just the beginning of coordinated efforts by Iran, North Korea, Russia, China, Syria the Taliban and a host of others to move the chess pieces around now that the White Queen has left the board.
Interesting Times is a curse.
To say the federal courthouse site in Alexandria is INDEFENSIBLE is the least of it.
Dollars to doughnuts AlQaida or their friends already have some sites in their possession. No doubt "others" have some sites.
I was kind of wondering why those people with the legation along Telegraph Road recently moved ~ last thing they want to do is be anywhere near a rapidly deteriorating military situation. (NOTE: The embassy people do get word on these things faster than we citizen peasants).
Send them to the prison in Brownsville, TX and let them live with the GP.
why does he need to plead I thought everyone loved this new group in the White House
Silly me!
Loan them to various zoos for exhibit.
Good observations about the lockup in Alexandria.
Have you seen this stuff from the fine resident of the local (mostly Democrat) community?

Sheriff Lawhorne’s comments on Guantanamo rumors
Apr 10th, 2009
Alexandria Sheriff Dana Lawhorne releases letter regarding possibility of Guantanamo Bay prisoners being relocated to Alexandria
They'd given up the site because the criminal gangs had rented an apartment overlooking the area and were able to warn their buddies whenever the team assembled.
You could see the Alexandria jail from my office in fact. Over at the Courthouse, also visible from offices a floor up, you usually saw one of those field units for Channel 8 (a local cable news operation).
You'd have had to have been blind to miss out on activities involving important federal prisoners.
Fortunately we moved out of there in June 2001 to a location in Roslynn where we could see the Pentagon burn after the attack.
No doubt the tall apartments in that area could be used by terrorist allies to disrupt court proceedings. Or, they could be used by others to disrupt terrorists.
There is little chance any current security could stop a determined and trained armed force with a plan ruthlessly performing a local military operation in this country... and Al Qaeda and their Islamist buddies are specialists at these sorts of operations and have plenty of cells and sympathizers in this country (and probably more pouring across our southern border as we speak). Local police and SWAT teams just don't have the resources or training/equipment to stop even a platoon sized, trained military force who don't care how many infidels they murder.
The trial lawyers might not like it, though. But they'll have to live with it now the Liberals have turned the clock back into a 9/10 scenario. America will be able to thank Obambi and his buddy Eric for bringing war back home.
The blueprint already exists. Here's how it's done: Terror at Beslan: A Russian Tragedy with Lessons for America's Schools

Interesting stuff.
Yep there are many potential (indefensible) security risks in bringing these guys to court anywhere inside the continental USA.
By the way I also watched the Pentagon go up in flames from a local vantage point.
Did you hear that huge explosion about 20 minutes after the Pentagon attack? I was three miles away and it very visibly shook the windows of the store I had stopped in. Everyone came running out to the sidewalk, it wasn’t only me, but I’ve never heard it discussed anywhere except on that day, when there was some very minor mention that a propane tank at the Pentagon had exploded.
Earlier an adjoining community had 75 Arab driven taxicabs parked in and about the area causing a serious traffic hazard. On 9/11 they were down to 15 taxicabs.
The rest of them flew the coop ~ that was the AlQaida ground support team. I regularly count how many taxicabs are parked around here just in case they're coming back.
>>>>> Earlier an adjoining community had 75 Arab driven taxicabs parked in and about the area causing a serious traffic hazard. On 9/11 they were down to 15 taxicabs. <<<<<
Yes I’ve heard about that “adjoining community”.
In early June 2001 I had a really very bizarre encounter on the ride to Dulles with a taxi driver for Washington Flyer which as you probably know is heavily Middle Eastern.
The Arabic guy picked me up at a multistory office building in the area and (a) he was slunked down in his driver’s seat, (b) he asked me to put my luggage in the trunk myself because “people know me here and I’m embarrassed that they see I’m driving a taxi”, and (c) proceeded to rant for the next 10 minutes about “That’s a very strong building, very strong! Yes, a very strong building!” I recall thinking he was a lunatic. He lived in Herndon. There was more but suffice it to say he was an odd guy.
In any case I didn’t give it much of a thought again until many many months after 9/11. I called the FBI and they thought it was kind of interesting too but said it was too late to do anything with the info.
