Gitmo Detainees

Here's a weird thing. The Republicans say we could never lock up Gitmo detainees in the U.S. because they would escape. But they're at Gitmo and they never escape.

Are the Republicans saying American prisons aren't all they should be? My answer to them is This is America. If you have a problem with the way Americans do things, then go back to Cuba, which you obviously prefer. Personally I'll take our American form of justice over the Cubans any day.

I believe -- I said, I believe that our American prisons are all they should be and more. Maybe they're thinking of Mayberry, where the prisoner can just reach over and get the big ring with the key on it. But that's not true to life. They don't use that big a ring for one key.
