Illinois ... great idea ... why didn’t I think of that. And the whole state is a gun-free zone, so they’ll be safe there.

What a nightmare this pres. has turned into. HAS ALWAYS BEEN

It's just that, as soon as got into the Oval Office and announced "I WON!" he stripped off his sheeps clothing.

There are about 200 minimum security prisioners there now. Blagojevich started busing some hard core prisioners from Pontiac there just before he deposed in a coup.

How can a New York judge sentence them to an Illinois prison?

Hmmmm . . . why don’t they put them in Marion? Isn’t that a Federal Prison? Oh wait! Its downstate! Silly me. In Illinois there is NOTHING outside Chicago!

roving, I feel your pain. Luckily for me, my parents emigrated to Missouri in the early 70’s, but almost all of my family still lives in Bloomington. The horror stories I receive via email from from them behind the lines in the People Republic of Illinois breaks my heart.

Hey, this way, when they’re released because of tainted evidence and warrentless wiretaps, Billy Ayers will be able to swing by and bring them to his house.

Bringing money to Ill. How many million billions to house these animals in Chicago?

I heard today that the move will bring 3000 new jobs to Illinois. I'm sure they will all be good ol' American UNION jobs. Can you say SEIU? I also heard that we had spent 24 billion dollars on fixing up Gitmo. No telling how many billions we will spend to fix up the prison in Illinois! Again, more union jobs to do the renovating.

Is this the start of Obama's new civilian army? As powerful, as well equipped as our regular military. Their new Army base to be located in a new prison in Illinois?

Obama's army made up of well seasoned terrorists from Gitmo, mosques, unions, New Black Panthers, Chicago gangs and at least half of 2008 Obama voters.)

The easy resolution is to make them citizens and release them in Chicago where Mayor Daley has laws against anyone owning firearms. Problem solved.

Attorney General Eric Holder tried to reassure worried lawmakers Thursday that no Guantanamo Bay detainees thought to be terrorists will be released into the United States.

"thought to be terrorist".

It depends on who does the thinking. Holder is a liar.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Is this the start of Obama's new civilian army?

Like you, I find his rhetoric about a "civilian service corps" frightening! But I don't go so far as seeing him creating a virile militaristic militia. I see his goal as an economic takeover of the US economy.
