Democrats Discover Gitmo's Virtues
Wall Street Journal ^ | 5/14/2009 | staff

'We're not going to bring al Qaeda to Big Sky Country. No way, not on my watch," declared Montana Sen. Max Baucus. "I wouldn't want them and I wouldn't take them," insisted Nebraska's Ben Nelson. Not Quantico, piped up Virginia's Mark Warner. After all, it "is in a very populated area in the greater capital region." Look, "Alcatraz is a national park and a tourist attraction, not a functioning prison" for terrorists, said the office of California's Dianne Feinstein.

Jim Moran says he'd accept them in his district, which is just down the road from me. I think he assumes they'd go drinking with him in Alexandria on weekends or something.

Jim is, of course, mentally ill!

Democrats wouldn’t know a virtue if it jumped up their rumps.

If they must come here, How about Nellis AFB?

Maybe 20 or 30 miles from area 51.

Nearly as isolated as Cuba, full of servicemen, and the locals could easily be persuaded to be suspicious of arab-looking strangers with poor english.

Second place would go to Eareckson Air Station on the tip of the Aleutian island chain. We could let them swim home from there.

Force the issue for Alcatraz. Those representives forced the closure, they need to step-up and put their money where that big yap of theirs is.

I am sure some of these sanctuary cities would want to take them into their homes and churches...

The live fire range? Sounds like a plan.

The place they need to go is easy: Florence ADX. I doubt if there would be a NIMBY response and it is perfectly suited to handle them.

Gitmo will look like Club Med.

Come on man.
Take every Gitmo detainee and lock them up in a Wendy’s in Murthas district.
And guard them with some acorn members.
