We house every kind of criminal in our prison system now including terrorist. Republicans are such hypocrites on this issue as they are on others.

This is clearly bad decision making. As Illinois loses jobs and population by the thousands, we are talking about importing the Gitmo Group.

Federal prisons bring money with them. The people who work at them get paid and frequent local businesses. And until we start shipping domestic terrorists offshore, there's no real reason why we can't house Gitmo guys on US soil.

Which would help to create federal jobs in the area. So why is this a bad idea?

Because the poster is a coward even when there's nothing to be afraid of.

Finally. I wonder if the administration will reconsider that town in Montana that also wants to take some Gitmo detainees.
