MURTHA: Warns Bush - Close Gitmo or NO MONEY For More War

[kpete]

Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., an influential member of the Appropriations Committee and top ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, warned Friday that he might seek to close the controversial U.S. prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba as a condition of approving more money for the war.

"If he wants to veto the bill, he won't have any money" for the war, Murtha said at a forum of anti-war Democrats.

4. Why Mr. Murtha, Halliburton is still on the design phase for the $100

Million "courthouse"!
That place will go down in history as America's Chateau d'If, its own Bastille and Star Chamber. In short, a complete and utter blot on our Enlightenment history.

6. I'd think more of this if it wasn't Bush's intent to do just that

and transfer the Gitmo prisoners to his new facility they're building.
