Durbin and Quinn pushing economic benefits of "Gitmo North"

This is what one-party rule begats. Governor Pat Quinn and Senator Dick Durbin, both Democrats, not only favor holding transferring Guantanamo Bay terrorists to a prison in Thomson, Illinois. They claiming "Gitmo North" will be an economic boon for the state.

There is a perfect place for these inmates--Guantanamo Bay. It has a state-of-the-art medical facility. Unless one is built for Thomson, terrorist who become ill will have to be treated at a hospital--posing numerous security risks. Such as an escape.

In a May bloggers' conference, Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) revealed that "there are people on the internet and on the airwaves" planning rescue missions at Gitmo, which is not nearly as accessible as Thomson.

If that seems far-fetched to you, some of the plotters of the first World Trade Center bombing schemed to break Meir Kahane assassin El Sayyid Nosair out of Attica Prison using a truck bomb.

It doesn't take much imagination to envision a suicide bomber traveling to northwestern Illinois to make a statement.
