Pelosi just doesn't get what Bill Young and other Republicans are making with the
proposal to reopen Alcatraz for holding Gitmo detainees. Closing Gitmo is as as unrealistic an idea as it is to reopen Alcatraz. She and other Democrats are totally missing the point.
Most Americans oppose closing Gitmo. Our leaders are missing it totally. Bringing the Islamic terrorists and placing them in American prisons will only bring more problems to our already out of control prisons. It could lead to further radicalizing inside our prisons. A very bad idea.
We knew Obama wanted to close Gitmo. It still is the wrong decision, unfortunately one of many we are going to be seeing over the next four years.
