White House: Gitmo North could create 3,000 jobs

In this morning's Chicago Sun-Times, Lynn Sweet reports that the proposed Gitmo North in Thomson, Illinois could create 3,000 jobs, mostly be expanding the mostly empty prison and using it to house inmates besides al Qaeda terrorists.

Be skeptical. This is the same administration that has been exposed as liars for touting the jobs it has "saved or created."
