That explanation didn’t stop House Minority Leader John Boehner from repeating the suggestion on Sunday, making that point that closing down Guantanamo by year’s end may not be the best plan considering the recidivism rate of terrorist detainees is about 12 percent.
“If liberals believe they ought to go, maybe we ought to open Alcatraz,” Boehner, R-Ohio, told NBC “Meet the Press.” Being reminded that Alcatraz is a national park, Boehner responded, “It’s very secure.”
I’m for it!
Send some of these poor, misunderstood Islamist murderers tormented by the evil Boosh administration to Pelosi’s district, some to Murtha’s district, and, if possible, some to Chicago.
Besides, I think it would make a good local tourist attraction: Local idiots leftists could enjoy the shit-tossing room, the semen-smearing hall, the attempted murder of uncovered women with shank tunnel, and the gay activist decapitation room.

The place would be self-policing! No guards needed, just food drops once a week. Give them all a Koran and grooming kit… a compass from a crackerjack box for orientation.
Heck, give them each a set of swim trunks and broadcast it live on National TV! I don’t see why we have to expose Americans to guard these people who have reclaimed their full rights under the Law of Nature and become animals again. Believe me, that isn’t even mean spirited.
No, mean spirited would be the shore based Alcatraz Shooting Range on the North Shore. That would be mean spirited. Forget I even thought of it.
Aren’t there sharks in SF Bay? They might hang around Alcatraz if civic-minded citizens sent a boat around the the island once a day dropping chum in the water.
