Pelosi Shrugs off Alcatraz as Possible Terror Detention Facility
Republicans opposing an Obama administration order to close Guantanamo Bay prison facility within a year suggest sending terror detainees to House Speaker Pelosi’s district.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday shrugged off Republican suggestions that the federal government reopen Alcatraz prison in her San Francisco district to house detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
President Obama this week signed an executive order calling for the closure of the prison at Guantanamo within the year. Republican Rep. Bill Young then suggested to White House counsel Greg Craig that the prisoners who could not be released back to their home countries or sent to a third country be put up in “the Rock,” the famous military installation and prison that closed down in 1963 and is now part of the National Park Service.
Asked whether that was a serious proposal, Pelosi said, “It is — no.”
“Perhaps he’s not visited Alcatraz,” Pelosi said of Young while displaying little sense of humor. “Alcatraz is a tourist attraction. It’s a prison that is now sort of like a — it’s a national park.”
That explanation didn’t stop House Minority Leader John Boehner from repeating the suggestion on Sunday, making that point that closing down Guantanamo by year’s end may not be the best plan considering the recidivism rate of terrorist detainees is about 12 percent.
“If liberals believe they ought to go, maybe we ought to open Alcatraz,” Boehner, R-Ohio, told NBC “Meet the Press.” Being reminded that Alcatraz is a national park, Boehner responded, “It’s very secure.”
The argument is just the latest iteration in an ongoing dispute over what to do with the remaining 245 enemy combatants who were to be tried in military commissions until a stay was ordered by the president last week in one of his first official acts.
Boehner said the promise to close Guantanamo by year’s end is impractical.
“Unilaterally saying it without knowing how were going to deal with them…keeps a campaign promise, but may be irresponsible,” he said.
But Pelosi called the plan to use the next year to review the case of each detainee is “brilliant.”
“What the president put forth was very wise. He said he’s going to close Guantanamo, take the time to do it. You can’t just go down there today and say, ‘Everybody out,’ and lock the door. They’re going to review the cases, narrow it down and then go from there. … It’s brilliant,” she said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Vice President Biden, speaking on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” said the prison must be closed because the symbolism of Guantanamo around the world has resulted in the growth of terrorist organizations, not their reduction.
“There’s no question it has to be closed. And we don’t think it’s inconsistent to deal with our national security and our Constitution. … That’s why we have the White House counsel — Mr. Craig is now going through this meticulously, deciding what we’re going to do with each and every prisoner,” he said.
Biden added that if the detainees went through the civilian court system and were somehow released, they still would not be sent out into the United States because all but one is an American citizen
“If they are not a U.S. citizen or if they are not here legally, then, even if they were released by a federal judge, they would not be able to stay here in the United States. They would be sent back to their country of origin. They would not stay here,” Biden said.
“They have no legal status to stay here, I don’t anticipate that happening. What I anticipate happening is that those people who are in a situation where it is either the evidence is in question or it’s going to be hard to make a case, we will most likely be rendering them back to their countries of origin or another country,” he continued, adding that some countries have already agreed to establish prison facilities for the detainees.

Sure, we can send them there. Granted we’d need to make a ton of modifications to the prison, we wouldn’t want Alkatraz 2 now would we? But then again it’s in San Francisco so it might be for the better.
Just let them loose in San Francisco. They can wage Jihad on our degenerate gay population. From what I’ve seen of the “Up Your Alley” festival, they’d be doing us a favor. I’m sorry, is that hate speech?
Yes it is hate speech. The best kind of hate speech.
You can not fault Pelosi on scoffing at re opening Alcatraz. It is basically a relic and re opening it would cost millions of dollars worth of construction and safety features. Also, imagine the cost of constantly shipping supplies to an island. Economically it takes away from tourism revenue.
Imagine trying to re-open a Civil War fort for modern combat operations and housing modern units. It just does not make sense.
Maybe our very good friend and ally France could reopen Devil’s Island …

I like the suggestion, if they establish Sharia law, that would reduce the population of San Francisco by a great amount. Might bring real estate prices down as a result.
I do NOT think sending them to Alcatraz is a good idea. Has anyone ever been there? It is a great tourist spot and I really enjoy it. Why should these shithead jihadis FURTHER RUIN America by taking away this landmark?
That being said, ship them to Pelosi’s house. Let them stay there and eat tea and cakes with her. If she loves these assholes so much, let her take care of them.
Better yet, just ship 300 rounds of .45 ACP to Gitmo. That’ll solve the problem.
Not just yet you bitch,Our gov here in COLORADO wants them for his own house servants.
We could fly them over in Ms. Pelosi’s private jet. Then, when the 9th Circuit releases them back into society (on some stupid technicality) and they become American citizens under some inane immigration law, she and her crazy friends will even get more votes! It works so well - if only we could all show some bipartisanship here…
“They have no legal status to stay here”???
What does that have to do with the price of tea in china??
WE HAVE 15 MILLION ILLEGALS HERE ALREADY, and now they show concern about citizenship?
Plus Biden mentions that IF they were to go through our civilian courts….. IF that happened they would be tryed under OUR CONSTITUTION!!which gives them rights.
Ya Know whenever a person has Pelosi/Biden calling them “brilliant” or “wise” you know that person is a dumbass!!
Libutards always come up with “bright” ideas without considering consequences
So typical to demand gitmo be closed but then turn around and say “not my town”
I say send them to Alcatraz. They would have to refurbish it; economic stimulus that actually creates jobs.
Or we could ship them to Sherrif Joe since they don’t like Air Condtioning. They would be right at home in Tent City.
Send them to Sherriff Joe. They would be right at home @ Tent City.
These Liberals are just amazing… WHEN THE FUCK will they LEARN, WAR is Faught and Won on The Battle Field… NOT a COURT ROOM!!!
They better dig up Perry Mason, looks like CSPAN will be getting alot of Airtime on this one.
they have been talking about the gitmo ASSHOLES going to camp penalton, i wish thay would reconsider that, and put them squarely in sanfransiko, let the libs know FEAR
Go ahead and let them shut GITMO down….leave the prisoners where they are and just walk away…..let the poor, dumb bastards swim home or go join the Commie Castro clan! I’m sure they’ll get a real warm reception from that gang!
Sheriff Joe for POTUS 2012.

Biden says “If they are not a U.S. citizen or if they are not here legally, then, even if they were released by a federal judge, they would not be able to stay here in the United States. They would be sent back to their country of origin. They would not stay here,†Then why are they being treated with more care and given equal rights on par or better than the rights of criminals who are US citizens? This PC bullshit has to end. Easy solution from this day forward…take no prisoners.
I am not comfortable with idea of bring the detainees back to United States. It is the source where they want to destroy United States. Guantanamo Bay was there for a reason to keep the terrorists away.
I am starting to invest my preparation and training in survivalism.
