I'm just an old observer from the heart of the West.
...and I thought that anything Bush says now wouldn't bother me anymore.
After the Supereme Court ruling last month gave all detainees the right to petition federal judges for immediate release, Dana Perino, speaking for Bush in a press conference Thursday, said that the dangerous detainees who are detained in Guantanamo could end up on the streets of the U.S.A. Her quote, as reported by the AP:
"I'm sure that none of us want Khalid Sheikh Mohammed walking around our neighborhoods."
Uh.. I may not be the brightest bulb in the box, but I thought that Homeland Security was supposed to be able to take care of that very unlikely possibility. After all, wasn't Khalid the Al-Quida third in command, and tactical mastermind of 9/11? He is either a confessed civilian mass murderer or a war crimes criminal, and he'll have his day in one court or another.
