Moul: Suspected terrorists do not belong in Pa.

Under no circumstances does state Rep. Dan Moul want Pennsylvania considered as a potential site for the relocation of suspected terrorists now being housed at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

And in a defiant move against President Barack Obama's plan to close the Cuba-based prison and relocate the facility somewhere within the U.S., the Adams County representative has drafted a resolution he hopes will stop Pennsylvania from being on the short list of potential sites.

"These people are trained killers, and they're trained to kill Americans. That's what they were born, bred and raised to do is to kill us, infidels," Moul said. "And as soon as they land here, the United States taxpayers, you and I, would wind up paying for legal services for these people who would like to do nothing more than to kill us."

With that rationale, Moul, R-Conewago Township, is looking for co-sponsorships on the resolution that, if passed, would urge Congress not to transfer any Guantanamo Bay detainees to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He intends to propose it to the state House of Representatives in a few weeks.

"If we bring them here, it's going to cost the taxpayers millions and millions of dollars over the years," Moul said. "There would be plenty of attorneys lined up at the prison gates to represent them and charge the United States taxpayers tons of money to give them representation, which I feel they do not deserve. I don't want to spend one more nickel on them than I absolutely positively have to."

My state representative is THE man!

From Gitmo to York?

Ship them to Chicago or Dearborn. They’ll fit right in.

Not Detroit?

Au contraire, Sr. Moul. Many of the deer-and-coyote hunters of north central Pennsylvania, up inside the wide Williamsport/Wellsboro/WilkesBarre triangle, would warmly welcome the relocation of suspected terrorists now being housed at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to their state's frozen woodlands.

I figure that maybe Barry could lend them his house, now that he has another place to live.

No - this is the perfect location for them....

I am on a town hall conference call with Rep. Todd Platts (R-PA 19). I am in line and going to ask if he will cosponsor Moul when he brings it to the floor.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Moul is a state representative and is not in Congress. However, Moul and Platts work together, so it is definitely worth bringing up. Thanks!

[WakeUpAndVote]

Thanks for the heads up! I am still in line.

Call ended (two hours), when he does these calls he is still in DC. He drives home everyday. I left him a voice mail asking if he can support Moul in anyway. He or his office always gets back to us.

Ping 11, I replied to myself.
