Rep. Barton of Texas on Ed's show: Gitmo is just dandy, Keep it open and keep all the terrorists
there.

After all they were captured in a war zone, so they have no rights.

I wonder if he thinks Americans "captured in a war zone" have any rights.

1. barton said the new prison in IL is "minimum security"
and ed asked where he got that and barton said it was from the talking points he received.

2. I sure resent joe bob barton
& many other texas congressmen, AND BOTH Senators,
talking/ASSUMING they speak for ALL Texans.
I lived down the road from 2 WW2 POW camps,IN TEXAS,
where Germans, & other nazis, were held/tried,back in the day.

NONE escaped, & apparently WE did NOT torture any of them..
Many of the POW's served their time & settled in the area,
became TEXANS.

These UN-American 'representatives' either don't KNOW OUR history,
don't BELIEVE in the Constitution,
or are simply gutless wonders.
Or ALL of the above.

3. Don't worry fascist Republicons, they won't have any rights in Illinois
either. Obama is nothing if not a master propagandist. He certainly studied hard during the Bush years. If it's not called Guantanamo doesn't matter what happens there-all that matters is it's not Guantanamo. DUH.
