   In my letter, I explain that restricting journalists from reporting on both the military commission hearings at Gitmo and the detention facility at Gitmo will directly impact worldwide press access and ultimately result in less transparency.

   Not to mention it will destroy our image in the world. At least I think that’s what the argument was the last 8 years regarding GITMO.

   This is NUTS!

   In trying to save their own doomed economy, Amherst, Massachusetts seeks to bring the Gitmo detainees to their own town.

   I guess they aren’t all that interested in keeping enrollment up at UMASS …

   Three people in Amherst, MA have stepped into the breach, well actually two. Yes, it is merely a first step and leads to a town meeting. That ought to be an interesting gathering.

   If these detainees are found not guilty, then return them from whence they came. There is no need to resettle them to the US.

   BTW, this is as useful and practicle as the town down the road from me, Takoma Park, MD, where the residents voted it a nuclear free zone. It is just a feel good measure that has no weight, and lacks teeth. The nuclear ban is impractcle and a tad bit silly. No nuclear power plant will be built in such a densely populated area in the first place. But, they will accept the power from the Calvert Cliffs, MD nuclear power plant.

    I’d tell Obie to pound sand. Talk about illegal.

    If Mass wants to coddle jihadis let them go ahead. Then when they have the problems of the Dutch they will have no one to blame but themselves.

    All terrorist, actors and media mavens should be sent to Massachusetts. Oh how far from the Sons of Liberty that cesspool by Liberty’s Harbor has strayed. The state of Kennedy, Frank and Kerry is certainly not the home of Adams, Paul Revere, Concord and Lexington? The Old North Church needs to turn off the light-there are no honest people to see it.

    Well, they won’t have to worry about any “excessive” American flag representation to “offend” them.

    Let’s take the WayBack machine to Sept. 10, 2001: In a public discussion about displays of the U.S. Flag, UMASS physics Prof. Traschen stated “[The U.S.] flag is a symbol of terrorism and death and fear and destruction and oppression.”

    Maybe a few alleged terrorists can find a room at Dr. Traschen’s house. But if she is a typical liberal, the alleged terrorist will be foisted on someone else…

    They only want two? We should insist that they take them all.

    Then, we can arrange for an “unfortunate” mass escape into the community.

    I can think of no better outcome for a commune of lefties that must’ve been the inspiration for the degenerate “Eternals” in the movie Zardoz than to be slaughtered by the very same “Brutals” whose comfort and care they are so solicitous of.

    It’d be the most elegant non-verbal expression of the cautionary adage, “Be careful what you wish for.”

    I think it would be fitting to use that 20 mil that Kerry snuck into the Defense Bill to fund an Abu Grahib II prison in honor of Ted Kennedy. That was one of his last patriotic rallying crys during the reconstruction period in Iraq. It would be better spent than on a library remembering Kennedy’s sordid life.

    It would be nice if liberal Massachusetts had to foot the bill for all the lawyers, hearings, appeals, ACLU obstacles, etc that it is going to cost the taxpayer only to result in the release of the GITMO prisoners due to a technicality.

    Yeah – load up the Conestoga and head West. Just avoid the likes of Detroit (hostile terriority) and Chicago (most corrupt city east of the Mississippi). Stop somewhere in Kansas or Nebraska. It might still be safe there.

    Why stop at 2?

    Send 10 to Smith College
    30 to Amherst
    20 to Mt. Holyoke
    and the rest to “Zoo Mass,” the major state campus in the UMass system.

    Amherst deserves them. ALL of them.

    Pacific Heights needs to open it’s arms wide and lovingly accept these poor terrorists who have been so mistreated and slandered. Nancy needs to open her arms to the poor, mistreated terrorists, with a bowl of hot soup and a comforting blanket to warm their weary bones. And, maybe when they are feeling better, she can throw a wonderful cocktail party for them, like she does so often for the corporate magnates of the San Francisco area. So, Nancy, show us the way.

    Move out West. We could use more conservatives to offset the California liberals trying to escape the mess they made out there. Problem is, as soon as they get settled, they start trying to mess up their new home to look like the old one.

    It appears that the administration has changed its media policy towards Gitmo in a way that prohibits members of the press visiting Gitmo from reporting on both the military commission hearings and the detention facility on the same trip.

    Reporting and printing photos of soldiers being killed even without the parents permission = good.

    Reporting and printing photos of soldiers caskets at Dover = good.

    Reporting on liberals fuzzy friends at Gitmo now that ObamAcorn is in the WH = bad.
