Bush’s biggest mistake!

Our former president did many things wrong and many things right however one mistake may define his presidency. The terrorists held within the confines of Guantanamo Bay were only an issue to the human right activists that confused the issue of criminals vs. enemies of the state. Now that President Obama has stubbornly decided to stick to his campaign promise of closing Guantanamo Bay Americans are wondering what we are going to do with these terrorist. Some rumors have detainees headed to Colorado, California, and Kansas. Forget the destination because one thing is clear. Americans with the exception of Pennsylvania congressman John Murtha do not want foreign terrorists in their neighborhoods. President Bush was wise to keep these detainees at a distance from America's shores, and he did so for a reason. We all know that there is a possibility, if not probability of terrorist cells still living within our borders. What happens if these terror cells become active with the purpose of breaking out the prisoners once held safely beyond our shores in a Guantanamo Bay Prison? Congressman Murtha believes holding these terrorist will be a boon to the Pennsylvania economy. Maybe the congressman is right, but would you want your family members to live or work near this facility? We as a nation, but especially Congressman Murtha and President Obama need to remember 9/11 and the damage that these terrorist are directly responsible for.

Now for President Bush's biggest mistake, the Guantanamo prisons should never been held as long as they have been held! Had President Bush gathered available information from these prisoners then scheduled their trials followed by swift execution. These prisoners and the Guantanamo issue would be out of sight out of mind.
