The administration's anticipated announcement that is at last, as promised, closing the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention center and moving the detained terrorists to the former Thomson Correctional Center will satisfy the President's restive leftist base.
It will not, however, do what it's advertised to do, namely, to take from Al Qaida a recruitment tool.
As long as alleged terrorists are detained without trial, as they should be and will be, and as long as those detainees can advance the notion that they're being abused, which they have done and will do, and as long as many in the West champion the detainees as victims, as they have done and will do, a few of the world's billions will make the romantically unrealistic decision to join the anti-American jihad, as they have done. Moving detainees from Cuba to Illinois, where the weather is worse in winter, hardly seems to make a difference that even a jihadist could recognize.
For those keeping score, once again the left has registered its preference for symbolism over substance.

Finally I havent heard anything about this since Obama was first elected...
There's an article on detnews.com about how parents want Detroit Public Schools teachers go to jail because of the low test scores of the students. Care to comment?

I know I don't want the prisoners in my state, but there is one silver lining. The terrorists will be a lot less comfortable at Thomson than they are at Gitmo.
