Hey, let’s move Gitmo to Afghanistan!

Via Flopping Aces,

The White House is considering whether to detain international terrorism suspects at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan, senior U.S. officials said, an option that would lead to another prison with the same purpose as Guantanamo Bay, which it has promised to close.

So, let’s take these people that we evidently don’t think qualify for release, and move them to a place where the enemy can more easily target the troops guarding them and try to break them out.  Just imagine the Taliban or al Qaeda propaganda an attack on a relocated Gitmo would generate; it’s hard to think of a more attractive target.  It is insane to even consider this.  While we all regret the need for Gitmo to exist, as Wordsmith at Flopping Aces put it, “Guantanamo remains the least bad option.”
