Potential Costly Mistake

Glenn Beck of Fox News tells it like it is. Today, President Obama announced that he had ordered the closure of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay. I personally don't think that the new administration thought this thing out too carefully. There is a lot more to this than closing the prison. There remains the fate of the prisoners currently incarcerated there. Keeping in mind that they are all terrorists with ties to Al-Quaida, they would have to be transferred to other locations on the mainland.
While the idea gets many kudos amongst liberals, these same people don't want these criminals in their back yards. Whatever happened to 'you can't have your cake and eat it too'? Not to fear, though, Glenn Beck proposes to send them to Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. True, it's located in House speaker Nancy Pelosi's district, but because she supports the President's idea, maybe she should be in charge of housing them! It's important to remember that many of these people return to the battlefield once they're released, as has been discovered in recent raids. Just think of it this way, Madam Speaker, every one of these suspects you release could cost many of our brave soldiers their lives.
