Alcatraz, The New GITMO "Rock"?
Apparently Pelosi is not too keen on the idea of using Alcatraz for the GITMO detainees; "But...it's a national park."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday shrugged off Republican suggestions that the federal government reopen Alcatraz prison in her San Francisco district to house detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.Nancy Pelosi certainly deserves to have the GITMO jihadi's in her district. The SF moonbats have been crying a long time to have GITMO closed.President Obama this week signed an executive order calling for the closure of the prison at Guantanamo within the year. Republican Rep. Bill Young then suggested to White House counsel Greg Craig that the prisoners who could not be released back to their home countries or sent to a third country be put up in "the Rock," the famous military installation and prison that closed down in 1963 and is now part of the National Park Service.
Asked whether that was a serious proposal, Pelosi said, "It is -- no."
"Perhaps he's not visited Alcatraz," Pelosi said of Young while displaying little sense of humor. "Alcatraz is a tourist attraction. It's a prison that is now sort of like a -- it's a national park."
It's a win, win situation, or as a commenter at Ace's said; "They can rename Alcatraz , Gaytanamo Bay".
