Don't send Guantanamo inmates here: U.S. politicians

If the detainees are relocated onto U.S. soil, "they'll be clamoring for their rights," said Randy Brogdon, an Oklahoma Republican state senator who is behind a resolution seeking to bar the detainees from Fort Sill in his state.

"Let's send them to the country they came from. The problem is, they won't take them back," he added.

That pretty much sums it up . What to do with 245 idiots that want to see the destruction of the United states !
Do we release them once they get here , because Many liberals And the new administration thinks it's a good gesture ?
Do we let them in our courts so they can clog up the system and eventually be released ? Costing taxpayers millions of dollars !!!!
Maybe we should just put them on a plane On a non stop flight , and drop them off in their respective countries !

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A cry of "not in my backyard" is growing louder over where to relocate terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay once the military-run prison is closed.

"We're the new Guantanamo Bay if they move to Indiana and what does that mean for us?" said Republican state Senator Marlin Stutzman, who wants detainees kept away from the prison in Terre Haute, site of the federal execution chamber.

"Does it make us a target? I don't know how their (terrorism) networks work but I'm sure they keep track of where their buddies are at," he said.

Resolutions in a few states that are home to federal or military prisons call for the detainees to be sent anywhere but there, fearing those states will become magnets for terrorism.

Sixty of some 500 Guantanamo detainees previously released have been unable to leave because their home countries refuse to accept them, said Navy Commander J.D. Gordon, a Pentagon spokesman.

The military has tried to resettle them in third-party countries, but so far has had limited success, with a total of five Uighurs from restive western China sent to Albania in 2006.
"Congress has the authority to establish federal prisons and situate them. It's hard to see how a state can veto a particular prison," said Northwestern University law professor Robert Bennett. "There are plenty of dangerous people in these prisons without these prisoners from Guantanamo."

Out of 201,000 federal inmates, just 94 are jailed for violations of national security. Most of the rest were convicted of drug, weapons and immigration offenses, with some 12,000 serving sentences for murder, kidnapping or sex crimes.

Maybe we should put them in general population with our own worst of the worst , and see how they fair ?
