Is it all just about closing Gitmo so the rest of the world will think we're cool again? When the first terrorist gets stabbed 73 times in the shower while a guard purposely turns his back, which mid-level white house official will Obama throw under the bus to save his own behind?
Mattj, What makes these inmates any different than the ones who are already there getting sodomized, beat-down, and murdered on a daily basis? Don't be brainwashed into the Liberal vs Conservative crap, it is about some things that they (politicans) don't want the public to know (like they have made some mistakes in getting fake confessions or even that they have the wrong personin the first place)

If there still is some question why I posted this on the city of Pittsburgh forum, here is the reason.

1. Pittsburgh has within it's city limits a State prison which could provide more jobs to the area if they decide to utilized it from the backlash for GITMO.

2. Pa as a state has a great number of prisons in general, and believe it or not many of the workers live in Pittsburgh, meaning they would be affected by GITMO detainees. Many of the guards and other state workers are friends of mine.

3. I live here and I want to know whatever the folks in Washington do how it affects me and my family.

I hope that this clears up any questions as to why I posted this question on this forum. Awesome.2000 I really don't take unnecessary personal attacks too well. I will apologize for stooping to your level.

simetime,

For what it is worth, I don't have a problem with people posting things of national interest which might only have a tangential relationship to Pittsburgh. I could just see where the conversation between mattjd and myself was heading, and didn't think it was appropriate to have an extended conversation of that kind here.
