Read the article. To save prison jobs. I don't care if it's my SOB or someone else's. They're still SOB's.

Wasn't talking about the article. You were wondering why the hysteria. I gave you a possible answer. I thought we were talking in general terms.

OK, then in general terms, how's a terrorist suspect any more dangerous than someone already convicted of murder? I assume the feds will be paying for the prisoners so cost shouldn't be an issue to the individual states. But yeah, it's probably another unjustified case of NIMBY. I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is, so I wouldn't mind if my state or county took a few of these prisoners, seriously.

6 of 1, half dozen of the other.

You aren't running for office either. If you were, you'd look at things a little differently. The only reason they are considering housing gitmo people is that their prisons will have to close. That means unhappy people. This way, they can say "I feel your pain". If that weren't the case, they would not want them anywhere near the state. Reason is very simple. Without a financial reason, other constituents will say "You are endangering us by housing those clowns near us. Put them somwhere else.". Why aren't the other states rushing for this business opportunity? Because they don't need it badly enough to risk pissing off their constituents. If ANYTHING happened, the press would have a field day and this sort of thing can hurt a politician's career.

It's a perfect example of how unfortunately emotions and political careers frequently come before the right thing to do.

I like to hold people including myself to a higher standard. However I don't expect much.
