| Prisoners in Guantanamo Bay |
The provision also temporarily barred the transport of the suspects to American soil.
The New York Times reports that if Guantanamo is closed by the January 22, 2010 deadline, over 100 of the prisoners would need to be housed in the United States. The Senate may still come through with the funds. Though, Democrats opposition to housing them on our soil may put a hitch in the plans.
What if put them up in some remote place in Alaska? Would anyone really care then? Maybe Sarah Palin. The irony of course is that Alaska if farther away from most of America than Guantanamo Bay, which is just a few hundred miles from where I type this right now.
