Obama Outrage - Is O about to transfer GITMO terrorists to Illinois ?

Outrageous. Disgusting.

I really hope this is not true.

Obama and Holder are just bad news ...


Obama's Weekly Friday Night Bad News Dump: Transfer Gitmo Detainees to Illinois [Andy McCarthy]

Andrew Breitbart's Big Government site breaks the news — in the form of a memo, dated Thursday, from President Obama to Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Attorney General Eric Holder* — directing that the terrorists being detained at Guantanamo Bay be transferred to a prison in Thomson, Illinois (the Thomson Correctional Center).

It's an outrage. It will inevitably result in trained terrorists being released in the United States — bank on it. More to come on this.

_________________________
* Andrew's site describes the document as "a leaked DOJ memo" from Holder to Gates. But, assuming it is authentic, it is clearly a memo from Obama to Holder and Gates — the constitutional powers relied on are those of the president, not the attorney general, and the memo gives directions to both Holder and Gates. (Holder has no power to order Gates to do anything — they are peers, and the Constitution vests all the executive power in the president, not members of the president's cabinet.)
