Relocating Guantanamo Bay Detainees Part of Obama's Stimulus?

A small town that houses the nearly empty maximum-security Thomson Correctional Facility is expecting a windfall of federal dollars (1 BILLION of them and about 2,000 jobs, to be exact) thanks to President Obama’s plan to move Gitmo detainees into America’s heartland for eventual trials in civilian courts.

From CNN:

“It don’t bother me that there is going to be terrorists — or people who our government think are terrorists — living there,” said Mary Wiggins, a 43-year-old waitress at the popular Sunrise Cafe. “Murderers are in there, and terrorists are murderers. What difference does it make?

“If it brings people into this cafe, well, I guess I’m fine with it,” she said.

So now the detained terrorists are good for the economy.  I thought I heard of everything.

Perhaps this was the plan all along.  If it is believable to liberals that George W Bush pre-planned his war in Iraq and used the 9-11 attacks as cover, then it is entirely possible that Obama used liberal outrage over the Guantanamo Bay prison to hide a massive shunting of taxpayer dollars to his adopted home state.

Will there be an investigation?  Not from the Pelosi or Reid quarters.  Look out if terror strikes this little town or NYC during the trials.  Americans are fickle but demand blood when attacked.  Ask the Japanese why they are the only nation that has suffered from a nuclear attack so far.  It wasn’t because they were the world’s biggest threat by a long shot.  It was because the US grew weary of fighting their radical elements and tactics and losing too many of our young men in battle.  It was also because of the way they attacked Pearl Harbor.  Revenge became a dish best served with massive doses of radiation.

Democrats are risking much political capital these days for things like unpopular plans for health care, climate emissions taxes and national defense (and moving terror suspects on to US soil, where they’ll be tried in US civilian courts).  The liberal base is fine with all of this, but the center and right are fuming.  If an attack occurs, there won’t be much left of a democrat for quite some time.
