Murtha Volunteers To Take In Guantanamo Prisoners
This is stupefying. Murtha truly must be insane. I can find no logic in his statements here. I am at a lost to even find a logic of demagoguery here. In other words, I can't think of a single way in which Murtha might think these statements would help him, or the Democratic Party.
On closing Guantanamo we get this from Rep. John Murtha (PA 12th District- D) emphasis mine:
So Murtha may have just been proving a point when he told FOX News that he'd "take 'em" in his district.
"They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo," Murtha said, adding that he saw "no reason not to put 'em in prisons in the United States and handle them the way they would handle any other prisoners."
He'll take Khalid Sheik Mohammed, mastermind of 9/11? How sweet of you, Rep. Murtha!
Mind if I take a look around your district?
Just looking around on Google Earth using Wikimapia I'm at... ohhh... roughly... 6 or 8 Elementary Schools, 3-5 Middle/Intermediate/Junior High Schools, 3-4 High Schools, at least one tech school, a community college, a University, 3 or so hospitals/medical centers... 5-6 power substations (have to keep those steel works in neighboring districts going), a municipal airport, a lovely lock and dam complex in a neighboring district...
In a neighboring district, literally right next door, I can count over 8 schools in less than a two mile radius!
Oh and some of those schools have 'Catholic' as part of their name and one 'Christian' School, I believe. Plus all sorts of non-Islamic churches, houses of worship, Synagogues.
Read the whole thing.
