No, Illinois will not be the "next Guantanamo"

[me b zola]

CNN has just reported that GITMO prisoners are going to be moved to a prison in Illinois, saying that, "Illinois will be the next Guantanamo". No, this is not true. Guantanamo was an illegal prison that operated outside of any law. The prisoners will now be under US rule of law. There will be no new Guantanamo.

Boy, they sure are quick with rw memes.


On Edit: According to CNN's website, it's not a done deal yet, it is just the plan that the administration is leaning toward.
