I just had to laugh when I read this!
GOP senators held a press conference immediately after the vote to warn that U.S. prisons are not equipped to hold the dangerous detainees now in Cuba. Plus they said the Guantanamo facility is best for the detainees themselves, arguing that it provides superior health care and special accommodations to practice Islam.
So, the US prison system cannot handle violent inmates? And just what are these "special accommodations to practice Islam" that are not in the main prison system? Does this mean that they are saying that the current system needs to be revamped to meet the "standards" of Gitmo? On the issue of "superior health care" I will remain silent except to wonder if it might not be needed to meet some of Gitmo's other operationally generated needs.
