Apparently the Gitmo detainees are to be moved to the United States. The legal system has groaned, clattered & squealed, and shat a decision, or else it's just another decision by the Executive for strictly political motives. And I no longer care which, because I don't think it matters.
It is said they are to be housed in our state of IL, apparently, in a new-looking but evidently empty state max security prison on the Mississippi River. Now the fact that these people should have been simply deported to their home countries, tried and a disposition made, or simply had a concrete block chained to their ankles and pitched into the sea can be ignored. Mr. Obama's home state will get several hundred more jobs. NOW the recession is over, for sure.
Tools in suits like Dick Durbin can point with pride to a few hundred jobs for their constituents, while, in the end, it is inevitable (now that these people are on U.S. soil and under the umbrella of the U.S. Judiciary) that this imbroglio will now grind on for decades, and cost the U.S. taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars...... and be another bonanza for hundreds of trial lawyers.
This is an indefensible decision.
