There are some liberal writers who have their panties in a wad because many of us who happen to be conservative would rather not have the Gitmo terrorists in civilian prisons on American soil.
I don't believe anyone is afraid of the terrorists escaping. We are afraid of those who will come seeking to break them out, or just to terrorize the regions in which the prison that houses them exists. It has happened before. Before being sent to the supermax in Colorado, the First World Trade Building terrorists were held at the Federal Prison in Leavenworth, Kansas. Not long after, letter bombs made up of plastic explosives started appearing in the Leavenworth Post Office.
We were all quite happy when the supermax was ready and they could take the terrorists away from our back yard.
The other concern is that so many current "home grown" terrorists are "converting to Islam (ya know, that religion of peace)" whilst in prison. Those prisoners are released and do things like - oh, you know, um, try to set off bombs in front of Synagogues in New York City. - Like the bunch who appeared in court this morning. And since Obama seems to want to continue with military tribunals, putting them here at Ft. Leavenworth, not a supermax, seems to be one of the places that the current administration is considering.
Remember please, these are people who crudely saw off people's heads rather than imprison them until the hostilities are over. We give them a zillion more rights than they give anyone else. And don't forget how they treat women and children - and goats.
Poor goats.


“We are afraid of those who will come seeking to break them out…”
Yes we are afraid of them. “Those” would be lawyers from Eric Holder’s old law firm (now representing 17 terrorists), activist liberal judges seeking creds for higher judgeships, and of course, the visitors of all leftist and Muslim stripes who will come to the prisons to pay homage to them, and pass them info from their masters, or if they ARE a master, take orders for their subordinates.
What part of “cells forming around the imprisoned terrorists” escapes the Obamanator?
