Where are the prisoners going to go? This is the age old question Obama should of thought about before setting out to prove something within his first days of office. Now his first days in office which resulted in endless praise are now coming back to haunt him, as all states oppose having Gitmo terrorists living in their backyards, go figure. A plan to transfer prisoners currently held at Guantanamo Bay to a nearly deserted Illinois jail is sharply dividing the state's politicians, with Democrats largely supporting the plan and Republicans hell-bent on blocking it.
"I adamantly oppose this plan to bring the terrorists to northwestern Illinois, where they could one day be released into our communities," Manzullo told the Chicago Sun-Times. Much speculation has grown about sending the prisoners to
the Thomson Correctional Center in western Illinois, but after inspection and countless Illinois Republicans arguing against the idea, Illinois no longer has to worry as the facility was said to be "unreliable" for the Jihadist terrorist, my question then would be, What is "reliable" when we are talking about some of the most dangerous men in the world?
Republican Rep. Don Manzullo, whose district includes the Thomson prison,
exclaimed adding additional security measures beyond any maximum security prison in the country would not change his mind.
