To Gitmo or Not to Gitmo

Summary of NPR discussions over the past day following the Supreme Court Hamdan decision:

Reporter A: Human rights groups want Guantanamo Bay facilities closed. The US Military wants Guantanamo Bay facilities closed.

Reporter B: What would happen to the 450 detainees?

Reporter A: Some would be jailed elsewhere, but most would be sent home. However, many of those who would be sent home would face torture, imprisonment or in some cases, death.

B: So many of them wouldn’t want to be sent home.

A: Correct. And no other country wants them. Some human rights groups believe that due to media attention, these detainees are safer in Guantanamo Bay than they would be if they were in fact released.

I’m sure Saudi Arabia would know how to handle them.

My question: What does the left want to happen to these terrorists? They don’t want them at Gitmo, and they don’t want them sent home….

I know! How about placing them under house arrest in Lefty homes? I’m sure multi-millionaire Noam Chomsky could afford luxurious accomodations. Ditto the short, fat Dixie Chick and Barbara Streisand. Heck, maybe they could score heroin for the lead singer of Green Day too by calling their buddies back in Afghanistan.
