Murtha Says He'd Take Gitmo Prisoners in His DistrictChad Pergram of FOXNews.com reports that blow-hard Jack Murtha, D-Pa., has announced that he'd be willing to house prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in his congressional district if President Obama makes good on a plan to close the U.S. prison there.
As one of his first acts in office, the president circulated a draft Wednesday that would shut down Guantanamo Bay within a year. The problem: no one with any sense really wants the suspected terrorists in their hometown.According to FoxNews, Murtha only has a minimum security prison in his district. But he says he'd have no reservations about holding detainees there in a maximum security prison.
"Sure, I'd take 'em," said Murtha, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war. "They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo."
Murtha added that there was "no reason not to put 'em in prisons in the United States and handle them the way they would handle any other prisoners."
