Now that President Obama has ordered the closure of Gitmo, the elephant in the room is cuffed, wearing an orange jumpsuit. Where will we put these detainees? Some of them are real terrorists, while others are Canadian. Most US senators are doing the ole NIMHS (not in my home state), while an editor at The Pitch, a Kansas City newspaper, is practically begging for a chance to guard detainees at Fort Leavenworth:

"I, for one, would be proud if Fort Leavenworth took [detainees]. Recalling George W. Bush's famous phrase, I say: Bring 'em on." (h/t Andrew Sullivan)

Interesting. However, let us not forget that Leavenworth is in Kansas. Haven't these terrorists been tortured enough?
