U.S. Officials to Tour Michigan Prison That May Hold Gitmo Detainees

Awesome ! what better place to put these retards ! , right in Michigan !
There could not be a better place ! ( Maybe the bottom of the Ocean , But that's my opinion ) Seems a shame to taint this Beautiful area of Michigan with these pukebags !

Fox News
Obama administration officials plan on Thursday to tour a soon-to-be-shuttered Michigan state prison considered an option to hold terrorism suspects now detained at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

Two government officials said representatives of the Defense, Justice and Homeland Security departments would visit a state prison in Standish. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the visit.

An Obama administration official said the visit was intended to gather information about the facility and no decisions had been made about where to move the detainees. Multiple options are being considered, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions.

The maximum-security prison about 145 miles northwest of Detroit and the military penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., are among the sites being considered to house the detainees if the prison in Cuba is closed by early 2010, as ordered by President Barack Obama.

Public pressure is mounting to do something to save the Standish prison, the region's largest employer with about 340 workers. Arenac County's unemployment rate already is 17.3 percent and the prison could soon close in a round of state budget cuts.

"If Standish Max becomes vacant, the impact would be devastating," said state Rep. Tim Moore, a Republican who represents the region in the Michigan Legislature. "Arenac County would be a ghost town."

This whole Gitmo closure insanity just infuriates me. All I can think about is the Beslan School Massacre and the fact that Beslan was targeted because it had served as an internment center for Muslims back during the Ossetian conflict.

And al Qaeda has a LONG history of prison attacks to free their terrorist brethren.

I wonder if Rep Tim Moore is aware of this little fact? I'm thinking I should make sure he does.

P.S. I'm no NIMBY and I've got the high tension wires and pumping station in my hood to prove it, but I've been holding my breath that those dirty rotten SOB's didn't end up in Florence SuperMax (1.5 hours from me.)
