Constitution Free Zone

Sounds like Mitch McConnell is getting desperate. Take a minute to read the load of crap he wrote for the Courier-Journal. Mitch doesn’t want to invite terrorists to the heartland.

“Several days ago during a Senate debate, Democrats proposed moving detained terrorists, who have sworn to kill Americans, out of the secure facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and right into our country -- and keeping them here.”

According to Mitch the prisoners at Guantanamo spend their day “working out on a recumbent exercise bike” and complaining about the “cheap branded, unscented soap."

Mitch makes it sound like the prisoners will be moving down the street and driving an explosive packed minivan to the local Mall. Maybe Mitch doesn’t want the prisoners in a Kentucky jail without all the amenities. But my guess is that he really doesn’t want them removed from the Constitution Free Zone they now occupy.

McConnell is once again using the tactic of fear and misrepresentation to side step the Constitution.

"I suspect most Kentuckians don't want terrorists housed in their backyards. And while I know things can be a lot different in California, Massachusetts or New York, I'm pretty sure the people there are no more eager to welcome these new neighbors."

Apparently the Bush administration and their toadies like McConnell fear the Constitution as much as they fear terrorists.
