   I wonder if there are any; and, if so, how many; socialists in this country who are capable of clear thought now and then; who will actually realize what they voted for; and who realize that they are actually going to get what they voted for.

   If so, their expression might somewhat resemble that of the condemned man who is being carried down to Hell (on the shoulders of a devil, I believe) in Michaelangelo’s painting on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

   If it weren’t so damned dangerous for the rest of us, I’d just have to say, “Priceless!”

   Burden the Bureau of Prisons with DOD and military problems? We already house and feed the blind sheik and ramsey yusef (spit when you say that) in the CO supermax. Put more and more jihadists in it and it becomes an even greater target for the jihadists to rescue their heros.

    As any old soldier can tell you – there is a simple solution as to how to handle this problem – it was a saying that was popular during the Vietnam War – “Kill them all, let God sort them out.”

    Corona – still locked up, but also still inspiring murder (from Wikipedia):

    Abdel-Rahman’s imprisonment has become a rallying point for Islamic militants around the world, including Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. In 1997, members of his group Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya conducted two attacks against European visitors to Egypt, including the massacre of 58 tourists at Deir el-Bahri in Luxor. In addition to killing women and children, the attackers mutilated a number of bodies and distributed leaflets throughout the scene demanding Rahman’s release.

    In 2005, members of Rahman’s legal team, including attorney Lynne Stewart, were convicted of facilitating communication between the imprisoned Sheikh and members of the terrorist organization Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya in Egypt.

    Now that’s an altitude that I would agree on – 20,000′.

    Liberals are always clamoring about taking care of the downtrodden and poor – they are the least likely to donate their money to charities to do so.

    They vocalize the loudest to close GITMO and bring the terrorists to this country to give them a “fair”trial – they demand that none of the released terrorists be located in their districts.

    While nobady has or can escape from SuperMax, it does cost about $100,000 per inmate at that place compared to $45,000 for a regular prison.
    BUT it is the stink that crap(gitmo terrorists) would bring to the region…more jihadi terrorists would congregate near the prison and ruin the area.
    Ritter is a damn FOOL.
    Soros bought the elections here in this RED state, turning it blue ever so slightly and hopefully ever so temporary.

    I repeat, true unless some military group assults such a prison from the outside using tactics the enemy has already used to break jihadis out of prision world wide.

    Thats why we had the US Military guarding them.

    Sorry, I was unclear. For a former Airborne soldier, that always refers to above ground level.

    Much higher in altitude and the mind doesn’t compute the altitude and one tends to lose one’s fear of heights, or so I was told once.

    At any rate, I can assure you that a drop from that height is perfectly lethal without the help of technology.

    I’m not so much concerned about escape from the supermax prisons, it’s the recruiting that will be going on inside. And the terrorist lawyers passing notes to the bad guys on the outside.

    But if we have to have them in the U.S., let it be in a blue area. They’re the ones that want gitmo closed. San Fracisco could take a few, maybe the DC area, Seattle, Manhatten, etc. etc. etc.

    They are just misunderstood. I suggest moving them all to Washington and putting them in a halfway house and work release program. They can begin by cleaning up the 130 tons of garbage left on the mall from the inauguration. If some wander away, at least they’ll be in an area where only the politicians and thier Remora journalists will be endangered.

    “I’m not worried that someone would break out of Supermax,” said McFadyen. “It just doesn’t seem right that we would burden the Bureau of Prisons with the Department of Defense and the military’s problem.”

    Sha-BANG! That’s the issue in a pithy nutshell. Military, not civilian. Note that McFadyen is a Dem.

    I can’t understand why so many Americans want to think the worst of their military, that we just yanked these people at random and locked them away for this length of time. If these detainees are innocent, why would the military waste their resources in holding them? They know how controversial this Gitmo thing is. They know the world is watching. If the military was certain that these detainees were faultless, they wouldn’t be holding them anymore. As long as that uncertainty is there, keep them in military custody. The enemy doesn’t take prisoners—it takes off heads while the sympathizers gloat and take to the streets in celebration and support.

    War on terror, shmore on terror, right? Millions are at risk, while Democrats worry about the comfort—nay, the libertad! of a few hundred suspected war criminals. Stuck on 9/10.

    Bring the jihadist to America, release them in the five biggest Blue State cities and let them feel the love of the Left. Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of LA, Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City, Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, Mayor Bill White of Houston-hell, skip the next few and put one fifth of the errant lads in Fagtown by the Bay and let Mayor Gavin Newsom march with them in the Gay Parade.

    This country wanted Obama, voted for him and swooned over the inauguration. They can “talk” to the jihadist: that is what President Obama said he would do. Just make sure we give the errant lads welfare so they will not be deprived and will love us the way the mohammedans love the Brits who treat them so well.

    I must confess that if I did know of a pending terrorist attack I would have to think about it before talking to the feds. It it was strictly Blue State I just might say “let the libs figure it out”; I might.
