Why can’t we have Guantanamo’s prisoners?

The closer it gets to Barack Obama’s inauguration, the more talk we’re hearing about closing Guantanamo Bay — and what to do with the 250 supposed Islamic radicals who are still there.

Last week, Kansas Senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts said no way do they want the suspected terrorists shipped to the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth. On Monday, Brownback issued a press release inviting Obama to tour the USDB.

“I would be honored to show him first hand why Fort Leavenworth is not

an acceptable facility to house enemy combatants and he will find that

once you see the base up close, it’s hard to show why terror suspects

should be housed in Kansas,” Brownback wrote, sounding a lot like he might be trying to dodge some of the duties and responsibilities that sometimes come

with fighting a war.
