Poll question: What points would make people realize that transferring Gitmo prisoners to Supermax prisons is OK?
Edited on Mon Jun-01-09 07:09 PM by zulchzulu
I have yet to see anyone point out just what Supermax prisons are, let alone who are in them now... including terrorists... What points could be made?

1. Other, or None of the Above
The people who hold that position are beyond any logical reasoning, they are not interested in facts or reality.

2. Other
It's my understanding that there is no room in the Supermax prisons.

3. Or #11: Supermax prisons are on an island off the coast of Alaska
surrounded by sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads, above which, hungry dragons circle.

7. Assuring people that after transfer the ones that Obama says
are dangerous but can't be prosecuted won't be released to the suburbs because they did not get Mirandized in the mountains of Afghanistan.

11. If the US doesn't take these prisoners then we have to repeal the 2nd ammendment

I mean what is the purpose of having 78 million guns if we still tremble at the sight of a highly guarded shackled prisoner who has been tortured for 5 years?

12. The point repugs are now making (which I think might be effective
due to Hollywood movies) is that the suspected terrorists' *friends* will blow up the communities that are housing the suspects. Not sure how rational or plausible that scenario is but I think it's going to keep many people from becoming comfortable with the idea.
