BUILD NEW PRISON FOR 50 TO 100 DETAINEES

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said yesterday that the Pentagon may have to build a new facility to house detainees from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay
WHY do I have visions of Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen in the movie PAPILLON going through my mind? Or we could put them in with the general population on Rikers Island.

One show of the Unit had a Cargo ship that just drove around in the middle of the Atlantic and they kept the Bad Guys on it. That might be the best deal yet. If they want off just go for it and let the sharks deal with them......

Solves putting them on US Soil......

Plenty of room on Midway, Wake, and Johnston Island.

There's a pretty good prison in Nancy Pelosi's district I'd be happy to help sweep the dust out of...

I truly wondered if QP's watched the unit. There is the answer.

I love this idea! We wouldn't even have to call them detainees. We could call them passengers, since they are free to hop off whenever they like. Next thing you know the libs would be crying that getting sea sick is torture.

Give 'em knives and let them go on Isla Nublar, the island to the West of Costa Rica where they built Jurassic Park. The fauna there would love the idea of a free-range terrorist diet.

You have to watch something TDY in a hotel. Seen a few but not many.

You know in the spirit of hope, let's just let them go....400 miles from the coast of Africa, if they can swim to land then they're free.

Post Classic example...

Of being in DC entirely too long.

I'd give them over to that sheriff in Arizona.

Stay safe.

WE give them three choices of being dropped off in the middle of...........

1. Florida Everglades, if they make it past the pythons and gators..
2. Okeefonokiee in Southern GA... again gators.....
3. Louisiana Bayous... there they gotta get past the cajuns AND the gators..

IF they make it out.. then they get a get to go to Raeford or Huntsville, thier choice.. We have some perfectly good prisons in the south, that are more than adequate to handle terrorists..

You are watching the Beverly Hillbillies?


I have heard of some talk about having some detainees at Ft. Sill early on in the planing of the closeure, it would be interesting to see their take on meeting a grumpy buffalo face to face.
