Guantanamo Bay verses Supermax...?
Security questions and torture aside... which is more expensive to operate? Guantanamo Bay or Supermax?? Someone told me that Guantanamo Bay is really VERY expensive to run and that Supermax is actually cheaper. However, Supermax is already full and is terribly understaffed. Thank you, Scott

I am not sure of the cost of operations. I agree that Obama left the impression the other day that Supermax prisons are ready, willing, and able to house Gitmo detainees.
Supermax officials in Colorado say otherwise.

Not to mention that jihadi virus problem.

Also, after a year-long investigation launched by the Bush administration, the feds cracked down on a ring of murder-minded black Muslim jailhouse converts preparing to bomb two Bronx synagogues and “eager to bring death to Jews.” They also planned to attack a New York National Guard air base in Newburgh, New York, where the suspects lived and worshiped at a local mosque.
Not one word from the president on the jihadists’ intended victims, motives, or means.
Why? Because doing so would force Obama to abandon his cottony “extremist ideology” euphemisms and confront the concrete truth. To borrow one of our obtuse president’s favorite clichés, “let me be perfectly clear” about the reality Obama won’t touch: America faces an ongoing Islamic jihad at home and abroad. Not merely “man-caused.” But Koran-inspired. Yet, Obama refuses to spell out the centuries-old roots of the war that he claims he’ll win faster, better, and cleaner than any of his predecessors.

Even Joe Biden balked at the President’s plan. He also said that “to the best of my knowledge” the number of prisoners “who are a real danger who are not able to returned or tried” has “not been established” by the Obama administration.
So he basically just confirmed his predecessor Dick Cheney’s analysis that the decision was taken “with little deliberation, and no plan”. o_O
