>>> First, the prison creates jobs for the town. In that case, why settle for one prison holding 100 prisoners? Why not buy 100 prisons and put one prison in each? That should create a LOT of jobs, no? >>> Secondly, we can close Gitmo and save money. Maybe, maybe not. But certainly, the amount of money involved is insignificant. You can run GITMO for 10 years for about 1/800th of what the Obama administration blew (wasted, as in we got nothing of value, at all) on the stimulus bill. >>> Thirdly, a facility that's presently mostly empty will be filled. And one that is perfectly suited for the job will be empty. It is interesting that you conveniently ignored the ENTIRE reason Obama cited for closing GTMO.
