If true...Bush fucked up big time.
True, but closing Gitmo and giving these foreign combatants access to our civilian courts is still nutz!
Why?
Thirty-three international terrorists, many with ties to al-Qaeda, reside in a single federal prison in Florence, Colo., with little public notice.
Detained in the supermax facility in Colorado are Ramzi Yousef, who headed the group that carried out the first bombing of the World Trade Center in February 1993; Zacarias Moussaoui, convicted of conspiring in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001; Ahmed Ressam, of the Dec. 31, 1999, Los Angeles airport millennium attack plots; Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, conspirator in several plots, including one to assassinate President George W. Bush; and Wadih el-Hage, convicted of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kenya.
There are hundreds more who have been tried, convicted and jailed in jurisdictions in Germany, France, the UK, Indonesia, the Philippines.
Since the al-qaeda operation is global, with cells scattered in every major nation, just where exactly should they all be placed once captured?
Anywhere you can lay a concrete capsule six feet under. Once you hold someone for over five years without a trial, you have made an enemy.
