I wrote this column today, intending to post it up on Friday. Then I saw a Time magazine reporter (among many others) pattling on about the Geneva Conventions. This public incompetence/dishonesty compelled me to get this column out the door, now.

Let me know what you think.

Very good John.

Perhaps you could suggest transferring the jihadists to a halfway house in Cambridge, Massachusetts?

They can put every Muslim in the world in Gitmo, and keep them there forever for all I care. We will never be completely safe in this country as long one of them is alive.

Gitmo

I don't see what the big deal is about Gitmo. As a matter of fact, I haven't heard one normal person even mention it outside the press.
The only people "outraged" over Gitmo are the losers who either see some kind of political benefit at the expense of American lives, or the usual America haters. All the negative press is from the liberal negative press!
Who cares about Gitmo? No one I know! Most people have no idea what Gitmo is!!!!

Get a life MSM. No one cares! Hell, I take up an underpants collection myself if it'll save American lives!

And I believe those who give a crap about "Koran accidents" or "Pantie heads" are a very, very, very small minority of lift wing idiots.
People would rather have those loons locked up rather than set the hornets nest of killers free.
Once again, the MSM is misjudging the American people.

Great post, John. I've emailed and called "Republican" Senator Martinez to ask exactly where he would put these detainees if Gitmo is closed...as he suggests. Would they go to prisons around the USA....so the ACLU and the liberal judges could ensure they would get lawyers paid for by the people they'd love to kill....Americans!?
Maybe Martinez, Bill Kristol, Biden et al could suggest a nice comfortable hotel near their homes.

"While you are at it, look up the statistics on how many young American men die, per thousand, in auto accidents, shootings, and other causes here in the US, as opposed to in Iraq. Use deaths per thousand. Try comparing Baghdad to Detroit, to use an example not entirely at random. "

Maybe then the troops should sort out the highways and Detroit first, then Baghdad?

And regarding the shootings... You want to say yhat the enemies of the american people are mainly the american people?
Then the war of terror should start at home...

He's counting on this to get him votes. Like our President, he should stop listening to the left wing press. The left wing wouldn't vote for him anyway!

On Fox News Sunday,Bill Kristol, a supposed conservative, suggested closing Gitmo. Brit Hume, who disagreed, laced into him.

All of this is true, but since when is the MSM interested in telling the truth? The MSM has an agenda... to "get" President Bush whatever it takes. They will easily stoop to telling half truths, distortions of fact and even manufacturing "news" (e.g. the infamous CBS fake memo) if it serves this agenda. They will readily report without comment the vitriolic hyperbole uttered by Howard Dean, while nitpicking and deconstructing anything from the administration. Thank God for the alternative media where the truth can prevail.

These are not “insurgents.” Insurgents are people who disagree with their group. Senators Olympia Snowe and Lincoln Chafee are insurgents.

LOL, great line!

"What treatment do assassins/terrorists warrant, bare minimum? A drumhead trial, and prompt execution."

My thoughts exactly.
What else might we do? "Rehabilitate" them?

Do you rehabilitate a wolf who's killing your sheep?

Or do we intern them "for the duration"? Duration of what? Their lives?
Anytime this worthless scum is released, they'll go right back to trying to kill us, so lets' make a little pre-emptive strike right here and now, while we know where they are and what they're doing.

Then flush their korans down the commode...

#12....We just voted him in.

Good grief, you would think he could 'stay with the program' or at least pretend to!

#13....Kristol is no conservative....he just slept in a Holiday Inn once :^

Don't let Kristol fool you....he quacks like a conservative when it suits him...but can turn on a dime.

agree, Martinez should stop listening to liberal media. He got elected cause the President supported him.
And, I pray the President will not listen to liberals and those who are more concerned about public relations than national security. We've already been too accomodating to these people who tried..and, if allowed, will try again..to kill Americans.

Forget the Cambridge halfway house, send them to live with Kristol while he gets them ready to be productive illegal immigrants entering American society to reak havoc and mayhem.
