Several senior U.S. officials said the administration is eyeing a soon-to-be-shuttered state maximum security prison in Michigan and the 134-year-old military penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., as possible locations for a heavily guarded site to hold the 229 suspected Al Qaeda, Taliban and foreign fighters now jailed at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.

There’s your stimulus money at work in Michigan, trade auto jobs for prison jobs; gotta keep those good union jobs.

Spend billions just to move prisoners to keep his campaign promise. Gitmo is a 1st class prison. Why close it.

If you have to force a state into accepting them....I’d vote for Michigan.

> Gitmo is a 1st class prison. Why close it.

So that he can have his bigger Military/Civilian Concentration Camp inside the USA on American soil and controlled by judges that he has in his back pocket. It’s classic bait-and-switch: people will be so delighted to see the end of Gitmo that they’ll happily swallow a much more bitter pill, without even noticing.

People are so gullible...

It is easier to send the anti-Hussein vermin from fly over country to Michigan than to Cuba...

Why? Why? Because he is not like other natural Americans.

In the veiws of liberla lawayers, the reason it’s better than Gitmo is that once they are on US soil, it gives these prisoners US legal rights and access to our our legal system. Heck, maybe they can even become US citizens and sue us big time, if they are not too busy watching Oprah (sarc)

I think they have more Muslims in Michigan so they’ll feel right at home.

I believe those falsely imprisoned people of peace already were given all of those rights and accesses. Actually after their pardons, they will become commanders in the soon-to-be-formed national civilian security force.

I suspect that there is more to this than meets the eye.

Once zero has the American public accustomed to having terrorist prisons on US soil, then it's merely a matter of redefining political opposition as terrorist to start populating the prisons with anyone who speaks out against his policies.

So what you're saying, if I understand you correctly, is that while the GITMO prison was built for our ENEMIES, the Michigan prison is being retrofitted for US.

Say, PIF, I think you're on to something.

I read the same article and funny...the only maximum security prison scheduled to close is part of the prison complex in Jackson. That is about an hour drive from Dearborn, so everyone can visit. Thanks Jenny for everything. What was it she said...Give me 5 years and you’ll be blown away. Funny how right she was.

I’ve got a better idea. Keep ‘em at Gitmo.

Good grief, the Obamaloons daily bring new meanings to the word “retarded”.

What does moving the inmates to another prison prove?

Could Obama be certifiably insane?

“GITMO prison was built for our ENEMIES”

GITMO prison was built for our former ENEMIES. Fixed.

Hussein is a Maoist - and if you know history, you know what’s coming. As I pinted out in another thread: you don’t imagine Hussein selected all those extreme radicals for his tzars by accident or oversite, do you?
