GITMO Detainees to be Moved to Montana?

  Is this what the proponents of closing GITMO had in mind when they learned that the president was going to fulfill a campaign promise to close GITMO? Moving the detainees to a Montana jail?

  I thought that the idea behind closing GITMO was that these prisoners were not really enemy combatants and that we were holding them illegally and abusing them. Why if we are illegally holding them should we then bring them to this country and continue to illegally hold them?

    If they are being held illegally  it is time to release them, if we have a legitimate reason to hold them than we have been lied to all of these years by the left for political gain. The truth is that these are dangerous people who need to be detained and the president knows this but in an effort to appease the far left he signed the order to close GITMO without considering what to do with the prisoners.

  Now he is left with no place to put these enemy combatants, their own countries do not want them back. So it looks like he may ship them to Montana and keep them detained there. The question I would ask the left is, what is the difference where these prisoners are being held?  The fact remains that many of them cannot be released into society and there never was a chance that they would be.

  GITMO was used as a political tool and a wedge issue in the 2008 election, but nobody really believed that these people deserved to, or could, be freed did they? If, as the president claimed during the campaign, these people were being held illegally without being tried than the proper thing to do would be to try them in a court of law or let them go. But so far the administration has continued the Bush policies, perhaps President Bush was right all along. Why else would the current president continue the Bush policy on the GITMO detainees?

  The fact that these people are still going to be held, even if it is in a different location, tells us all that we need to know about them. The fact remains that issuing the order to close GITMO was nothing but a political stunt.

   These people should be kept in GITMO and never be allowed to set foot in the United States, if they go to trial let them face trial in GITMO. If they are going to be held indefinitely, let them be held in GITMO. If, as it appears, the president is just going to follow the Bush policy on GITMO detainees, let them stay in GITMO. Why bring them here is nothing is going to change?

  This was a publicity stunt from day one, nothing will change but the location.

  Forgive me, but how could I end a post about moving to Montana without including some lyrics from the Frank Zappa song, Montana?

With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted
tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand

By myself I wouldn’t
Have no boss,
But I’d be raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin’
In the moon-lighty night

And then I’d
Get a cuppa cawfee
N’ give my foot a push . . .
Just me ‘n the pygmy pony
Over the Dennil Floss Bush

N’ then I might just
Jump back on
An’ ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

Movin’ to Montana soon
