Murtha Says He'd Take Guantanamo Prisoners in His District

Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., says he'd be willing to house prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in his congressional district if President Obama makes good on a plan to close the U.S. prison there.
As one of his first acts in office, the president circulated a draft Wednesday that would shut down Guantanamo Bay within a year.
Murtha only has a minimum security prison in his district. But he says he'd have no reservations about holding detainees there in a maximum security prison.
"Sure, I'd take 'em," said Murtha, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war. "They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo."

Murtha is just looking for more money to skim off the top of a big government project.

So he'll be needing a billion dollars or so to build the nonexistent maximum security prison he plans on holding them in.

I think the residents of that area should tar and feather Murtha!!!
He will be putting his constituents into danger if some Radicals decide to preform a jail break!!!!
Wonder what kind of poll numbers this would produce if a local talk show were to ask it’s listeners?????
To: Free ThinkerNY
I’m sure all those “rednecks” and “racists” he claims to represent want them in their back yard.
To: Free ThinkerNY
He can do better than that. He can host them in his house. And since he’s in Washington, D.C. most of the year, maybe they can stay with him in his Georgetown bungalow as well.
Just remember, Jack, don’t let them have access to anything sharp, blunt, that they can throw, or is toxic. And speaking of throwing, you might want to have some Plexiglas installed, unless you want to be frequently splattered with feces.
To: Free ThinkerNY
Murtha would probably put them up in a room in his house and provide them with free meals and movie tickets.

"Sure, I'd take 'em," said Murtha, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war. "They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo." And when they are released for failure to receive a speedy trial, will you help then get housing, jobs and a nice neighborhood mosque with basement machine shop"" Murtha is rapidly replacing Slick and Kerry on my personal dislike list.

Big fat Murtha is just looking for some new drinking buddies. And if his district sees a sudden influx of shifty Muzzie rabble moving in, building mosques, belching, farting, blowing things up, and generally turning the area into a fleabag Pennsylvaniastan, they deserve every bit of it for re-election the treasonous SOB.

I'll submit an offer for the prisoners - and I won't require any payment..
They will be confined in my back yard, with no unique fences, cells or bars....
Anyone attempting escape will be shot.

Vicious circle of corrupt constituents voting for corrupt leaders to bring home the bacon. Robert Byrd and Ted Stevens are other good examples.

Murtha added that there was "no reason not to put 'em in prisons in the United States and handle them the way they would handle any other prisoners." Well, as long as they are treated just like McVeigh was, I have no problem.

oh and guess what? Unions will be brought in to run it all and thus, a good part of their salaries will be automatically garnished via union dues and will be funneled back to Murtha and other Penn dems in campaign contributions.

How much pork do you factor could be skimmed by him and other Penn dems with a supermax style prison construction project in his state? And all construction costs covered by the Hussien Obama stimlus job creation program.

I think his *constituency* might not feel so generous, since they don't have free Secret Service protection night and day.
How about Big Jack Hoff Murtha offer space inside his gated, secured domicle instead, hmm? After all, he loves Arabs (or at least he did during AB-SCAM
