“Gitmo’s inmates on U.S. soil - a ‘magnet for jihadists’”

SNIPPET: “Lt. Colonel Gordon Cucullu (USA-Ret.) has written a new book entitled Inside Gitmo: The True Story Behind the Myths of Guantanamo Bay. He has some serious concerns about housing the detainees anywhere on U.S. soil.
“What I think is a very dangerous option would be outright release [of the prisoners] — and I think that the activists would settle for no less, frankly,” says Cucullu. “Any location on the mainland of the United States is going to be a magnet for jihadists from around the world to try to either break these guys out, or even more dangerously to take hostage or to inflict casualties among the local communities.”
Cucullu says the same critics who refer to Guantanamo as the “Gulag of our times” will refer to any facility on the mainland in the same manner. The retired Army officer believes heated debate will surround the detainees’ status — and that it will probably take much longer than a year to resolve.”
