Reply #19: Gitmo is a special case [View All]

It's not like Gitmo isn't already heavily defended against surrounding Cuba. I wouldn't expect any place stateside to be as impregnable as Gitmo is. Besides, who are the jihadis going to effectively threaten in the surrounding area? It's not like US troops would give a crap about a Cuban town being held hostage.

As for Bagram, I would expect that the same issues apply, but with people blowing people up practically every day, who could attribute such activities solely to holding jihadis in a prison camp? President Obama would do well to sit down with former President Clinton, after the Marielito boat people swarmed ashore in the late 1970's, many of them were stored at a prison in Arkansas. There was a prison riot, and the only time Bill Clinton ever lost an election was right after that incident.
