That is a feature, not a bug.

Everything Obama does creates jobs!

Good for the economy!

5 This is Bush's fault. He should have hanged them all. I am not really worried about a terrorist attack in Illinois -- but in a legal precedent that hampers future activities.

Damn, beat me to it.

Joliet Jake will have none of this.

9 Would you want to work at that prison?

Forget about attacks on the prison, attempted escapes, recruitment or the like.  If the jihadis are smart, they'll start attacking the warden, guards and their families, the surrounding town, etc.

So all the co-bloggers are real? Thank God. For a minute their I thought the blog was being written by a ghost blogger pretending to be sockpuppets using Ace as a sockpuppet. My head hurts.

11
The Democrats like high unemployment so they can keep jerking off the unemployed people with the promise of creating jobs. It's a clever racket they got going.

12 Two-Gun Barack the Hyde Park Kid blows off another one of his toes.

Think about it:  the vanishingly small minority of Americans who actually give a f**k about the poor widdle terrorists at bad old Gitmo are people who would vote for Obama even if he came to their house and personally lit them on fire.  He gains nothing from this.

But the vast majority of Americans will see terrorists brought to America.  They'll hear the steady water-torture drip of legal maneuvers, lawsuits, changes of venue, insults to America -- and it will ALL. BE. OBAMA'S. FAULT.

13 The new, upgraded prison?  B+

14

The quick and dirty summary:

If our soldiers want to protect the U.S. they must immediately stop taking prisoners.

...

That doesn't feel right, but I can't find an error in my thinking.  Someone put my some knowledge, here?

15 If the jihadis are smart, they'll start attacking the warden, guards and their families, the surrounding town, etc.


Not to worry, we're working on that

16 Just more proof that Obama is destined to be a one-termer. He's an oppo ad writers dream - I mean, where to begin? From graphics showing the debt/UE going vertical, to images of KSM preaching to the 9/11 victims families to the "openness" of the Congress (as the door slams shut) to showing people going into cardiac arrest when they open their health care premiums post-health care "reform". I'll say this, if the Republicans can't beat this guy with all of the ammo that he's given them in 2009, then the deserve to lose, and I guess we'll all deserve to be "ruled".

17 As a resident of the not so great state of Illinois, I am none too happy about this. On the otherhamnd, elections have consequences...so, since my state is dumb enough to send Dick Durbin to Washington, elect countless Democrats to every other office and generally practices the stoopid.....we get what we deserve.

This is INSANE!!!!!!! What the hell is my protegé thinking here????

Isn't there someplace near Hyde Park that would be nicer?

24 Would you want to work at that prison?

Posted by: AmishDude at December 15, 2009 11:04 AM (T0NGe)

Sure, why not? It will be a federal prison so it will be flush with cash. Plus they plan to hire 3800 staff people to watch less than 500 prisoners. That's a ratio to 7-8 prison employees per inmate.

25
Rep. Mark Kirk has called the move "an unnecessary risk."

wow, Kirk, take it easy there, no need to go overboard with the rhetoric



...and this is why we lose at the polls....

26 If our soldiers want to protect the U.S. they must immediately stop taking prisoners.


Between this and the Navy Seal prosecution I'm sure that lesson is being learned well by the folks downrange.

27 What are they going to do if a few of these guys say, "Hell no, we won't go! It's freakin' cold up there!"

28 We need to build a high speed rail line from Chicago to the jail. So the throngs of sympathizers will have cheap, efficient, and green transportation to visit and protest the third world treatment of the opressed freedom fighters.

29 I would be impressed, perhaps in an unprecedented manner, if we managed to squeeze in a few hangings at the new prison. You know, so the jihadis would look back at Gitmo as the 'good old days'. That would be a B+

30 Well I'm sick to my stomach

31 Of course this whole operation is going to require buckets of Federal money  to assure the safety and well being of these shit stains. 

Dick Durbin has a giant hard on right now.

32

38 wow, Kirk, take it easy there, no need to go overboard with the rhetoric

...and this is why we lose at the polls....


Kirk is the sort of squishy RINO who passes for raving conservative in that state.  [insert supreme being here] help us all.

39
We went from George Bush killing or capturing the terrorists to Obama giving them a pathway to US citizenship.

40 Will the 'upgrades' include building a mosque in the prison?

Of course. And a state of the art fitness center where these wonderful prisoners can get in tip top shape, first rate law library so they can continue to file needless motions demanding their immediate release, top of the line computer center so they can continue to make contact with the outside world, satellite t.v. and they probably will hire Oprah's chef to man the cafeteria.

41 Just think of all the thousands of jobs terrorists created or saved!

42 Local Illinois media is going to carry the day for Obamaon this issue.  They will hammer this measure as "jobs, jobs, jobs".  Then the Democrats will chime in from the galleries.

Obama doesn't really gamble.  He only makes big bets like this in environments where the house(Illinois) has not financial situation to reject them.

43 Hmm...so the government of Illinois built a large prison that they didn't seem to really need. Who got the contracts to build it? And now there will be all kinds of Federal contract money to keep it up as the Jihadi Hilton. Who will get those contracts?

Yeah...welcome to the Chicago Way.

44 More economic upside. 

Jobs saved when the left goads Obama into shutting down the Illinois jihadi prison:  approximately 200 Islamic Studies Department heads available for universities across the US.

So, we can add that to the total.

45 And how much will this liberal wet dream cost us?

46
yep, and don't forget the prayer rugs, million-dollar flight-simulators, and bomb-making classes.

All the comforts of home for the jihadis.

47

The funny thing (if there is such a thing). They built this prison while, simultaneously, while trying to close a prision in downstate in an area that had the gall to actually elect a Republican who stood up to the Chicago Democrats.

Yeah........the Chicago Way.

48 Health officials are recalling hundreds of thousands of doses of swine flu vaccine after tests indicated they may not be potent enough to protect against the virus. Hum? Why not ship em to the new prison along with some salt peter

49 Obama has to remove the deainees so he can give Guantanamo back to the Cubans.

50

And how much will this liberal wet dream cost us?

Well, the real cost we can't tell you. The cooked numbers - you probably don't want to know.

51 I'm about 70 miles from Thomson.  I think it's majorly stupid to move detainees out of Guantanamo, but if it _has_ to happen, they might as well come here.

62 Rio got the Olympics and all we got was a bunch of terrorists.

74

Board Legal Beagles: Will moving these guys to the Land of Lincoln change their Federal Circuit and Appellate jurisdictions? If so, what are the implications, beyond a lot of refiling, etc.

No - the federal courts in Washington, D.C. retain jurisdiction.

75 Maybe they can go to Kominsky field to catch a Sox game or two this summer.

76 Amish, I am counting on the fact that terrorists will go where the environment is target rich.

77

This is certainly going to make our lives easier.

In fact, we think this calls for a re-evaluation of his grade to an A-.

78 I blame Bush!

79 Suits the Hell out of me. Chicago deserves it.

Yes, and they won't be anywhere near Chicago.

Just think of all the do-nothing administrative jobs this will save or create for relatives and friends of Obama supporters. 

Truman--they won't work at the actual prison.  It's out in the middle of nowhere, just across the river from Iowa.  Bitter-clinger country.  Nearest Whole Foods is two or three hours away.

80 queue CAIR bringinging cruel and unusual punishment for putting these assholes through one of our winters compared to Club Gitmo weather in 3... 2... 1...

81 Obama inhereted these terrorist. It is all Bush's fault!

82 #12 Trimegistus, Exactly! (His point was that Obama gains nothing with this as those nutsacs that want Gitmo closed would vote for him no matter what.) Then why did they do it? They HAVE to throw a sop to the base. He's a war president.On health care they own the house and the senate and are getting small beer in return.  He's done dic...I mean nothing for the gays and lesbians. The base is getting pissed and they have to throw them a friggin' bone. It's a sign of weakness.

83

Unfortunately, Chicago isn't going to get it.  Downstate IL gets it.  They ought to put the prison downtown.

The location is actually Northwest of Chicago. So we downstates (which is defined as anything South of Interstate 80) are sparred. But, I agree, put the damn prisioners in Chicago. Or any of these following sites:

1. Keith Olbermann's condo in Manhatten

2. Berkley, CA

3. San Fransico

4. Madison, Wisconsin

5. Boston

6. Nancy Pelosi's Capital Office

7. Spare bedroom, Markos whatever the hell his last name is, house

8. Van down by the river that Cindy Sheehan is living in

9. MSNBC studio

10. Scandanavia (cause it is what those damn, dirty Scandi's deserve).

84

Maybe they can go to Kominsky field to catch a Sox game or two this summer.

Only if they go shirtless....its what our fans do.

85

Obama is incapable of making even the simplest of decisions.  He's a fucktard.

This is the guy who went to the church of GOD DAMN AMERIKKA and had Tony Rezko set  up a CORRUPT home deal.

Obama is a complete fuck up.  He's perfected fucking up.

86

After the first terrorist attack happens in Ill. we on the right must not let the Dems get away with shifting the blame for one second. We need to start hammering them right away.

Then once we get back into power it is important that we arrest any politician, activist, and judge who helped get these guys moved here. They need to be tried for treason. We also need to be willing to arrest any judge who tries to stop it and try them for treason. The lefty judges need to be forcefully if not brutally reminded that they also need to follow the law and that commiting treason is against the law.

87 I wish I would have thought of using Gitmo.

88 Not today....I have a headache.

89 Well, moving to Illinois is really going to put the kibosh on the 8th Annual Halal Luau and Sadie Hawkins Dance on the beach this February.

90 Hey maybe now they can convert the place in Gitmo to really nice condos? I'm in.

91

yes I live in Illinois, what a bunch of crap this is. there is no way in the world it can be justified. it makes zero sense. the claims about our world image and gitmo being an al qaeda recruiting tool are nonsense. there were plenty of terrorists before gitmo, and does anyone really belief that guys thinking about joining al qaeda now are going to think twice because after all, Gitmo was closed. haha.

listen, if this is so great for Illinois, then send them to downtown chicago to the Cook county jail. those guys will will wish like hell they were still at Gitmo.

92 assume that they are closing gitmo and there is nothing you can do about it.


then I am for moving them to this prison if merely to create some jobs in Illinois, and to get some money for the state.  If I were a Republican congressman, I would get guarantees that the military would continue to operate the prison, not the federal government.  That's the real bitch.

We are fighting a war.  the left thinks we are doing something else.  This is a POW camp, not a prison.  Let them freeze in rural illinois rather than enjoy the balmy climes of the Caribbean.  The view of the corn is shitty compared to the view of the ocean.  Maybe they will become hopeless in that prison.

I am against closing Gitmo, but assume there is virtually nothing I can do to stop it.  they have the votes.

93 Aha.  There's a Thompson IL by Dubuque and Thomson IL by Clinton.  The prison's at the latter.

94

The GOP may end up picking up Obama's old senate seat over this. 

 

 

95 Do the Gitmo "guests" get tickets to Cubs games also/

Posted by: nevergiveup at December 15, 2009 11:11 AM (0GFWk)

Never. Because Barry said that's not real baseball. Real baseball is on the south side at Kominsky Field. 

96

So the terrorists are not going to one of the "escape-proof" federal super maximum security prisons, but just a plain old state prison that was never designed to hold terrorists?  However, assuming they are not released by a sympathetic judge, escape, or traded for hostages, they will:

1. Get 3 good meals a day.

2. Have free housing, clothing, medical care, exercise facilities and education facilities.

3. Be able to convert other prisoners to Islamic terrorism.

4. Be able to plan other acts of terror and communicate plans to their terror buddies via visitors and their lawyers.

5. Tie up the legal system and cost the US taxpayer millions in frivolous lawsuits and legal fees.

Good job, 52% you really screwed up.  And when, not if, these terrorists carry out another act of terror, you will have no one to blame but yourselves.

97 Do the Gitmo "guests" get tickets to Cubs games also

Obambi is a Sox fan.  They deserve them

Kirk is the sort of squishy RINO who passes for raving conservative in that state.  [insert supreme being here] help us all.

My Rep. Roskam is pretty good.  I think I'll send Sen Dick Turbin a note saying he just lost any hope of ever getting my vote.  Of course he completely ignored the last time I sent a note saying I'll never vote for him.  He compared the treatment the detainees were getting to the treatment under the Nazis.  I had to send a note detailing the experience of my dad in his 5 years in Sachsenhausen.

98 Let them freeze in rural illinois rather than enjoy the balmy climes of the Caribbean.  The view of the corn is shitty compared to the view of the ocean.  Maybe they will become hopeless in that prison.

Works for me.  I'm also hoping they try to escape across the river  (I'm sure they can get find sanctuary in Iowa City) and become another drowning statistic.

@93 " assume that they are closing gitmo and there is nothing you can do about it.then I am for moving them to this prison if merely to create some jobs in Illinois"

It trains ex-con and assorted scum jihadi-wannabees on how to do Religion of Pieces outreach .... weapons, explosives, you get it. It's close to the nations capitol, and has been given kid-glove treatment by local and state LE because of the shit-for-brains PC crap ladled into our culture by enemies within.  Hypothetical, got that Rocks ? Ace would BanHammer me if I pointed out the obvious demographics of this recruiting class. Venn-diagram time, kuffirs. Or it's national legal front face ... I'll "Hold" off on that one. That's as much subtlety as this issue deserves. If I offend, let me go upstarirs and put on my " I give a shit" shoes.

You don't need to take down the prison. You screw the nearby town. Or the support services - food, cleaning, transportation, utilities. It's not like ID badges and other authentication material has been lifted from airports, and associated settings. It's not like the TSA gives CAIR a background tour of security. It's not like TSA mouthbreathers also let leak security protocols online. It's not like commercial airliners on final approach are having cockpits continuously lased as they approach beautiful Detroit Metro over al-Dearborn.

While it's true Mark Kirk (R-IL-10) is a squishy R at best, the district itself is squishy.  The representative from IL-9 right next door is Jan Schakowsky (D)for pete's sake, she's possibly even leftier than Pelosi herself.   Her husband pleaded guilty to kiting checks for his biz and served jail time, yet it had no effect on her reelection. 

Kirk is running for the US Senate to replace the excreable Roland Burris, who was appointed to Obama's vacated Senate seat by former Gov. Blago.  After Burris got the seat, it came out he offered to raise money for Blago.  And kinda sorta forgot to mention that fact to the legislature in IL when Blago & Burris were being investigated.  AND of course the US Senate declined to take any action against Burris either, since they knew he would vote exactly as Reid tells him to vote.

120 Before a single criminal charge could be lodged against the Thomson 200 (you think Obama is just going to ship off thirty six terrorists to Illinois, you naive beings), as they set foot on US soil, all of them will have had their lawyers file Habeus Corpus petitions in federal court of the northern district of Illinois.  There are about three dozen federal judges in that Court, given that there have been two ultra liberal senators in place in Illinois for the past two dozen years, almost all of those judges will be liberal democrats since no judge can be appointed by either a republican or democrat president in any district court without the approval of the senators from that state. Since no Illinois democrat senator would have approved any conservative nominees for any district court in Illinois, I would wager that less than five to ten percent of the sitting judges would be conservative or republican. Thus, if the 100 - 200 habeus petitions go to illinois federal court, each lib judge by random selection would have half dozen habeus petitions each, greatly increasing likelihood of the release of these enemy combatants.
