A military installation poses a high risk target.
Huh? There is no concern at Gitmo being a “target.” Can you point to one incursion or bombardment during the past 100 years from Al Qaeda?
“Can you point to one incursion or bombardment during the past 100 years from Al Qaeda”
Yes- four planes, 19 men, 9/11/01.
Perhaps my writing was not as clear as it could have been. The point I was making is that AQ would not wish to attack Gitmo being as it is a fortified military installation, posing a high failure risk to AQ. AQ may very well attack the city of Thomson, Illinois, as it is a much easier target than Gitmo.
The detainees should be kept on the island and not brought to the mainland US.
