Islamic Fundamentalism: Coming to a City Near You

Here's how it's going to happen:

First, at some point this year, the home for enemy combatants currently in use at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba will be shuttered pursuant to the executive order signed today by President Obama, and the terrorists and sworn enemies of the United States held there will be transferred from the detention facility in Raul and Fidel Castro's backyard to a detention facility in yours.

Then, with help of funding secured from various sources by groups like the Council for American Islamic Relations, the ACLU, and the Arab-American Action Network--the latter founded and operated by long-time Obama friend and associate Rashid Khalidi--many of these detainees will retain top-notch, left-leaning defense attorneys and, due to a technicality in the way the detainee was captured, or a problem with the change in legal status from enemy combatant to God-knows-what, or some obscure violation of the Federal Rules of Evidence, these sworn enemies to western civilization will walk. Perhaps onto American soil, as most of their home countries understandably don't want them back.

Far-fetched? Hardly. In fact, this scenario took two steps--leaps, really--toward reality today, first when Barack Obama signed the executive order despite lacking a concrete plan on where the detainees were to go, and again when Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha told reporters that, sure, he'd be prepared to welcome the terrorists in his own district.

"They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo," said Murtha, a former Marine who just last summer blasted U.S. Marines currently serving in Iraq, calling them "murderers."

So, as far as Murtha is concerned, our own Marines are dangerous and murderous -- but actual Islamic terrorists caught in the act of attempting to kill Americans are somehow so innocuous that, sure thing, he'd welcome them to the very part of western Pennsylvania where hijacked Flight 93 crashed on September 11, 2001? While it's doubtful that Murtha finds the detainees completely harmless, he did add when talking to reporters today that he sees "no reason not to put 'em in prisons in the United States and handle them the way they would handle any other prisoners."

Nobody on Capitol Hill or in the various newsrooms across the country seem to understand that these people are not innocent goatherders, they weren't just nabbed by lazy American soldiers while delivering falafel sandwiches to caves and training facilities along the Afghani border. Nobody gets it. And, as a result, the clock is now ticking on Obama's first executive order, and the only plan in place for the future of our sworn enemies is to distribute them among an American prison population filled with burglars, carjackers, and run-of-the-mill crack addicts. No reason to treat them any differently, Jack? Just thinking of that crisp, clear Tuesday morning in September, seven years ago, I can think of about three thousand.
