Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The federal government may purchase a prison in rural northwestern Illinois to house Guantanamo Bay detainees and other inmates. The maximum security Thomson Correctional Center, about 150 miles west of Chicago, has been largely vacant since its construction in 2001 because of budget problems. About 200 minimum security inmates are currently held there.

We could use the jobs. A benefit of having your guy as President.

He is your guy also, like it or not.

Monstman - He is my President, I didn't intend "your" to read as "not mine".

They should send some to Hardin, MT as well. Those people are hurting for jobs.

Watch, now there will be a fight over who gets the prisoners. It's a growth industry. The new industry for America.....prison guards. Yay!

America...the world's prison!

Lucky Bastards. I wanted them at Fort Leavenworth. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Oh well You can't have everything huh????

Larry

We've been holding "terrorists" longer in the state of Florida than any other state. WE incarcerated indians at St. Augustine in the 1600's. Surely our prisons deserve to hold some of the worst of the worst. Plus, we could use the money.

Were you planning on applying for a job Larry?

Stupid, stupid plan to let these bastards into the U.S. B.O. and his "handlers" should have their heads examined.

They do NOT belong here. They are NOT entitled to anything other than a military tribunal and a quick execution if found guilty of war crimes.

Fucking liberal pieces of shit we have for leaders are afraid of calling a spade a spade. They are ENEMY COMBATANTS, many of which are guilty of crimes against humanity for plotting or attempting terrorist acts.

What if they were Americans accused of the same atrocities by their societies? Would they be treated so kindly by their captors? Doubtful...

We should send them to Danni's house. She will pat them on their heads, feed them milk and cookies, and tuck them in each night...

"What if they were Americans accused of the same atrocities by their societies? Would they be treated so kindly by their captors?"

When, exactly, did that become the barometer?

"2,300 jobs will be saved or created"
--- The White House ---

So President Barack H. Obama's plan is to shut down a perfectly good prison in Guantanamo and move those prisoners to American soil in Northern Illinois right outside of Chicago? I wonder how the renters in the Sears (Willis) Tower feel about this?

Would they be treated so kindly by their captors

What part of TORTURE don't you understand

GITMO has become a big boulder tied around each and every Americans necks. If we want to move forwards that boulder MUST be removed. Simple really.

America...the world's prison!

They must be getting pretty old by now. Four centuries and not a parole hearing yet?

"the 37th level of dumb"

Vernon once again employs his calculator, with predictable results....

I'm pretty sure that back at that time the white europeans were the terrorists.

Are they ever going to obtain a habeas corpus hearing? -or any form of assurance they have done anything bad, or were just unlucky to have been sold to us by their neighbors? A real national embarrassment and a continuing gift to the American people from Rumsfeld and Bush.

Some more Friends of Obama are about to become millionaires.

The Feds will, of course, pay far more than the prison is worth...

...why?

Because it is owned by connected Democrats.

The prison they are looking at, is in Thompson Illinois, which is along the Mississippi River, 127 miles 'right outside of Chicago'.

I wonder which major city those released will gravitate toward? Is Obama going to start a program for free radiation suits?

I'm glad that we're going to get these people in our prison system and charge them with crimes. The extralegal approach to dealing with them was unconstitutional, stupid and craven. We have plenty of scary mofos in our prisons now. We can prosecute and imprison terrorists.

Would you feel the same way if they were sticking them 2 hours from your house?

I live 90 minutes from the most heinous criminals in the state of Florida, Joe. Why would I fear imprisoned terrorists more than any of them? Do terrorists have super powers?

Nobody said you should be afraid of "imprisoned terrorists." The question is where they go and what they do after they are released. Sort of like the question of where to house sex offenders after they are released - if there was no risk of re-offending, nobody would care. And living in a major city that has been the site of numerous terror plots, I can say that I'd prefer they don't jail (and later release) all the terrorists in my backyard. But that's just me.

Rogers says, "Why would I fear imprisoned terrorists more than any of them (common criminals)? Do terrorists have super powers?"

Well, any such 'powers' aren't seen by political ostriches, super or not.

Criminals are materialists, interested in conducting their felonious businesses without interference and complications. They suborn cooperation, in the main, by bribery and not violence.

Terrorists are not materialists, but rather interested in promoting their control over whatever target their violence can intimidate into agreement with them. They murder and commit atrocities as their 'business.'

You, for party partisanship, turn yourself into an ignorant dufus, in order to fool others into believing your inane 'observations' and taking them as party faith in you and your effort to dumb down your readers for party uber alles ...

You won't get blown up with your kids at K-Mart by Miami hoods, Rogers ... grow up and teach, and quit blinding yourself and others for politics ...

Welcome back. There's somebody I'd like you to meet.

The 'government' offers bounties on terrorists in the ME. The 'government' should offer 1 million dollars to anyone turning in an escaped terrorist, if they follow through with this idiocy of treating non-uniformed saboteurs, spies and combatants as US citizens ... and turn them in as better dead than alive ...

This situation created by the Obama administration is close to treason, in my estimation ... aiding and abetting our enemy, at the very least ...

Democrats are becoming creepy, fascistic socialists, and acting-out as the newage chic by displaying this sort of anti-patriotism in favor of Islamic Jihad Terrorists liberty and rights!

"The question is where they go and what they do after they are released."

Who says they are ever going to be released? Don't hold your breath.

Democrats supported the victory of North Vietnamese communism against a sovereign, independent nation. Now, they support Islamic Jihadists by giving them, our enemy they have sworn to destroy, the rights of US citizens.

Those who continue to support this criminal party, are traitors to our nation, our constitution and laws ... unless you start speaking out and telling the party that they are acting out as traitors, aiding and abetting those who have declared war against us.

The only one who are traitors Taddy are the ones who do not want Justice done and that must include a charge of a crime a fair trial and a subsequent conviction or an aquital. The ONLY way to do it.

jesus joe you're on a roll.

thomson, illinois is along the mississippi river, the west part of the state. chicago is along lake michigan, the east part of the state.

where's your "backyard"? it obviously isn't ill.

and if these guys by some amazing twist are found not guilty of every charge against them, and they are released, i'd say they will probably be deported because they aren't american citizens.

thomson, illinois is along the mississippi river, the west part of the state. chicago is along lake michigan, the east part of the state.

Chicago is the third largest city in the country and is about 2 hours from Thompson. If you don't think any released terrorist who wants to do something will be likelier to go to Chicago to do it, then you're an idiot.

Where will they go from Thompson? Rockford? Milwaukee? No, they'll go to Chicago.

Larry claims, "The only one who are traitors Taddy are the ones who do not want Justice done and that must include a charge of a crime a fair trial and a subsequent conviction or an aquital. The ONLY way to do it."

You would have given the Japanese the rights of US citizen's, even though they were war criminals.

And, that's the point about the stupidity infesting the Democrat party - to think that any foreigner who attacks the USA is automatically eligible for the rights of being an American citizen ... you moronic twits ...

you're an idiot and you prove it again. it's spelled thomson. you said thomson was in your backyard it isn't.
my god, we have terrorists at the supermax and i live in denver, i'm scared.
as i said before they will be deported you dumbass. but i find it very hard to believe these guys will be found innocent.
live your life in fear lawyer joe.

boo.

One of the most successful moronic twits says, "So come shoot me you old fucking windbag."

See? More like terrorists than those who want to give terrorists the rights of US citizens for attacking us ... verminous creeps just doesn't approach describing these vituperous idiots ...

Democrat party faithful and anti-patriots to their very core ...

And, that's the point about the stupidity infesting the Democrat party - to think that any foreigner who attacks the USA is automatically eligible for the rights of being an American citizen ... you moronic twits ...

Accordings to the Supreme COurt those in Our custody DO indeed have Rights Constitutional Rights. Now how does that feel?? Oh and Yes I would given the Japanese the same rights that people have that falls under the jurisdiction of the US Constitution.

Larry

it's spelled thomson. you said thomson was in your backyard it isn't.

Who cares how it's spelled? I don't want everyone in Guantanamo Bay transferred to a prison 2 hours from my house. BTW nobody is going to attack Denver, because Denver is a shithole.

... and that's why I don't respond to you, usually, Larry. You're just too stupid and the partisanship forces you to repeat the same trite propaganda you've been fed ... over-and-over, ad nauseam.

US citizens in custody have been found to have the same rights - not foreign, non-uniformed combatants - who don't come under the perview of the Supreme Court.

Except, that traitorous, Islamic Jihadist supporting members of our government subvert the the constitution by going around it and blatantly giving terrorists rights they don't deserve!

FO, I'm out of here again. This place is *filled* with antipatriotic, intransigent yellow-dogs. Those who literally can't get any thought through the cement they have for brains; unless spoonfed by the DNC and its lying ilk, media stooges.

Yep..
Gotta close GITMO. GOTTA CLOSE GITMO!!! Oh I know what to do -- there are a bunch of tax paying suckers with an unlimited supply of money we can use. Let's just take some more of that and buy us a prison in middle America.

Enough of a freaking joke - this administration??

JM

no dumbass it's the most healthy city in the us. but stay the fuck out, we don't want your candy ass here.
i would think if you are so worried about some folks going to thomson, where the security will surpass that of the supermax you'd know how to spell it lawyer joe.
what part of chicago do you live in? nothing specific, just the name of the town.

One of the most successful moronic twits says

I'll take that, as well as Tadpole's consistent failure to formulate coherent responses to my posts, as a complement. Regardless of how many adjectives Tadpole strings together, his inane conservative sob sessions remain just that. The regurgitated delusions of rightwing demagogues are no substitute for a logical argument.

Glad to have you back, you psychotic old fuck. I was beginning to think Father Time did us all the favor that the Viet Cong couldn't.

i would think if you are so worried about some folks going to thomson, where the security will surpass that of the supermax you'd know how to spell it

Why would my inability to spell the name of a small town have any bearing on whether I should be worried about a few hundred terrorists being placed there? The proximity is the issue, not the name of the town, dumbshit.

I live in River West and I work in the Loop. Why?

dumbass because i've read a story and saw another on tv and noticed the unique spelling. you're not very detail oriented for being a lawyer. what have you read about it?
i grew up in moline, il, technically that's in your backyard too. 170 southwest along the mississippi river. lol.

I've read the article this thread is based on. No surprise a dumbshit like you is from the quad cities.

wow way to research your concern lawyer joe. and i'm an idiot.
why do you call me an idiot lawyer joe? i'm just pointing our facts while you make shit up.
just curious what else do you consider your backyard? grand rapids michigan? madison wisconsin? wait sprinfield, il?

Sure. When there are 200 terrorists there, I'll consider it my backyard given that I'm in the nearest city they'd ever consider attacking.

we have 33 international terrorists in the supermax in florence colorado and have never had a problem. the blind cleric, the shoe bomber, ted kazinski. what do you think they're going to do? i've debunked your claim that they will be found innocent and released into public so don't use that one.

"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."
wash post


boo!

and i'm an idiot.

Why are we even giving them a sham trial? Dollars to donuts we didn't read them their rights.

We violated more than just that right as well. So if they're not getting a trial to our exact standards, why give them one at all?

lawyer joe i just heard on the tv in the breakroom that there are currently 35 terrorists in chicago area jails right now! in chicago!! 35 that are literally in your backyard!!!
jesus lawyer joe how do you sleep? these 35, minutes away and potentially 200 130 miles away.
my god.

you're not a very good lawyer, lawyer joe.

Zombie IDs himself, "Glad to have you back ..."

BS. I'm not 'back' and only take this opportunity to respond because, as I've mentioned for years that the Democrat party has become infested with moronic liars and anti-patriots who are completely ignorant of what our constitution and laws mean, but instead imagine as real that their emotional and hyperbolic politics should become reality, by fiat.

These are, at the very best face on it, POWs, and should be tried, under public supervision as congress should decide, and found innocent or guilty under military tribunal ... not under our national court system, with rights and privileges ***never*** accorded to un-uniformed terrorists, spies and sabateurs in the history of mankind!!!

Only utopian socialists try to have their tyrannical way and attempt to ENFORCE their will on society ***instantly***, like the intransigent vermin which is now infesting the Democrat party ...

This site's leftist denizens being obvious examples of that idiotic ilk ... you being one of those successful socialist and sychophantic party twits ...


He is your guy also, like it or not.

No that mo fo wil never be my president, hs is a fraud, a puppet and a dick head...all qualities you admire not me.

I've mentioned for years that...

I also imagine you've been refusing for years to back up your insipid babble with anything beyond the delicate sound of your own two lips flapping in the wind.

The United States has been inexorably growing more liberal over the last century, and history has given recent generations little reason to regard conservatism with anything but contempt. What will you do when society casts away your ideology with all the dignity of an abortion clinic's janitor filling the trash compactor?

Only took 140 mil to build. 1,600 inmate capacity. What's that, about 87.5 k per inmate before you start feeding, clothing etc.etc.them? Can anyone buy a home in Illinois for 87.5K ?

Govt. at work. Illinois is as broke as any and this isn't the only building sitting vacant in the state.

I wonder how much Obama pushed for this vacant building during his tenure as an Illinois Senator.

Wasting other peoples money. It's what politicians do.
