Are You Less Safe Then You were Before

And so the end begins. Obama is expected to sign several executive orders today directing the CIA to close its network of secret foreign prisons and order the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp within a year. The New York Times reports that the "orders would bring to an end a CIA program that kept terrorism suspects in secret custody for months or years and also prohibit them from using coercive interrogation methods.

After all, eight years of security has offended liberal sensitivities. We have not suffered the way liberals think America should for all our past sins.

So, where is the alternate plan? There is none, so we must hear from idiots like the old traitor Murtha. He says he'd be willing to house prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in his congressional district. "Sure, I'd take 'em," said Murtha, "They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo."

The real danger to the district and the rest of the country is Murtha himself. He only has a minimum security prison in his district, but that doesn't seem to matter. These guys are his friends, the US military is his enemy.

When the Obamanation ends, the question will be "Are you less safe now then you were before?" I hope there are some of us left to answer.
