Or at least the dumbest thing ever said by a U.S. senator from Kansas. GOP senator Pat Roberts is opposed to prisoners from Guantanamo being transferred to the federal Supermax prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. This is the prison where Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, is being held while he waits on his death sentence. Roberts is not upset because many of these “terrorists” in Guantanamo have been held without charge or trial for ten years, but because “the installation lies right on the Missouri River, providing terrorists with the possibility of covert travel underwater and attempting access to the detention facility.” I think Sen. Roberts has been watching too many movies.
Most, and perhaps even all, GOP senators would prefer that Guantanamo stay open and that all the prisoners held there remain there without charge or trial until their natural deaths. How many “libertarian-leaning” Republican “constitutional conservatives” likewise hold this opinion?
And people wonder why I say the GOP is pure evil?
