Michigan Town Rejects Liz Cheney’s ‘Fearmongering’ And Welcomes Guantanamo Detainees
Michigan Town Rejects Liz Cheney’s ‘Fearmongering’ And Welcomes Guantanamo Detainees
Recently, the Liz Cheney-founded right-wing advocacy group Keep America Safe released a mini-documentary that features several residents of Standish, Michigan, speaking out against a possible transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay to a prison in the city. The video ominously warns that the transfer would turn the town into “Guantanamo North” and claims that Standish residents are dead set against moving Guantanamo detainees to their city. Watch it:
Yet, as the Plum Line’s Greg Sargent reports, the video poorly represents the views of the residents of Standish. He interviewed Standish City Manager Michael Moran, who dismissed Liz Cheney’s “fearmongering” and said the documentary was “off base“:
Standish’s City Manager tells us that local leaders and residents want the facility, and dismissed Cheney’s efforts as “fearmongering.” Cheney is “certainly not representing the views of our community,” the City Manager, Michael Moran, told our reporter, Amanda Erickson.
While some local residents do appear to have expressed mixed feelings or opposition to the plan, Moran says that they’re an isolated minority that Ms. Cheney’s video elevates out of proportion in a way that’s “off base.”
The truth is, the residents of Standish — like the residents of Thomson, Illinois — aren’t afraid of housing terrorism suspects on U.S. soil. Last month, the Standish City Council voted 6-0 in support of a resolution asking the federal government to relocate Guantanamo prisoners to their city. Moving detainees to the city would help keep their prison facility open, which would guard against “the loss of the 350 jobs provided by the [jail].”

I’ve got an alternative ’solution’ to ‘Keep America Safe’:
Arrest and try BOTH Cheney’s! (she was involved @ Homeland Security) for war crimes including faking the docs re: yellow cake, lying to congress, illegal invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq, no-bid fraud and misappropriation, killing > 100,000 Iraqis, 5,000 US troops and 30,000 wounded, violations of the restrictions on illegal surveillance of US citizens, obstruction of justice (Scooter’s case), lying to congress AGAIN, tampering w/email @ WH, extraordinary renditions, illegal foreign prisons, and I’M SURE there’s more!
November 20th, 2009 at 6:16 pmTHAT’S how to ‘Keep America Safe’ and prevent it from turning BACK into the pants-pissed, stinking of fear-based ameriKAn sh*thole it was from 2001-2008.

Dear Beaffyboy,
Are you suggesting that those convicted in the 1993 WTC bombing; Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Ahmad Ajaj and Eyad Ismoil…
… Should be declared a mistrial because they were tried in the USA, in NY city, and held in custody in the USA?
In short Beaffyboy,
Are you saying that the USA is NOT capable of following the Law?
.
November 20th, 2009 at 6:25 pmJust don’t be clogging up the courts with foreign Islamic azzholes, they aren’t citizens and don’t deserve the protections of the system they seek to destroy.
Huh. Are you forgetting how many illegal aliens are in US prisons?
Lets just let them go on the other side of the border so they can sneak back in and commit crimes against our people, right?
November 20th, 2009 at 6:26 pmIn short Beaffyboy,
Are you saying that you don’t believe in the American Rule Of Law?
Why Do You Hate America?
November 20th, 2009 at 6:28 pmRichard Colvin Reid (born 12 August 1973[1], also known as Abdul Raheem and as Tariq Raja, and often referred to in the media as the shoe bomber) was convicted on charges of terrorism and is currently serving a life sentence without parole in the United States for attempting to destroy a commercial aircraft in-flight by detonating explosives hidden in his shoes. According to al-Qaeda operative Mohammed Mansour Jabarah (who was captured and interrogated in Oman in 2002), Reid was a member of al-Qaeda and had been sent on the bombing mission by Khaled Shaikh Mohammed, a senior member of the organization.[2]
A foreigner [British born] tried in US courts and in prison for life.
Oh noes, he is going to break out and find beefbawkbawk hiding under his bed!!
November 20th, 2009 at 6:28 pmand this prison will be sold and run by the United States Military, which mean there will be no visters coming threw airports etc…

I mean i know i feel a hell of lot safer then i did the last 8 years. and I go to many other country’s around the world. I am actually not to afraid to say i am a american now in most of them. all though i do still work on situation awareness.

Dear BeaffyBoy,
Let me go gun-nuts for ya…
… The NRA is proud of their guns. NO?
Is it the ardent NRA supporter that claims he’s “Tough on 2nd Amendment Rights” who hides his gun when challenged?
Or is the ardent NRA supporter that stands ready, cocking his gun, standing defiantly saying, “Make me”?
Which are you when you willfully jump on the tail tucking truck to Lawless land?
The stronger Nation is the Nation that stands by it’s principles.
The coward chides that toughness and suggest that that Nation NOT be Tough, NOT be strong, NOT follow the Law.
Sorry BeaffyBoy,
You sissyness is what IS WEAK!
UR A PUSSY-BOY!

November 20th, 2009 at 6:34 pmWhat the stupid trolls just can’t seem to understand, among the many, is that it’s the right of all Americans to try those accused of such heinous crimes. They whine that the accused are not citizens who deserve legal protection but it’s we citizens who demand that they be tried.
Unfortunately, the previous Administration threw out the Geneva Conventions so military tribunals would lack the legal status necessary. Especially for those who were not captured on the field of battle, the only recourse is our civilian justice system.

As well as the flying of the Bin Ladens out of the country on 9/12, when the REST of the country’s air traffic was BANNED.

Well, I dont follow this Charles Fox Parham pentecostal armageddon thing about 2/3 of the Jewish people needing to die in some god awful war. Many christians and atheists dont. But since another of the three, perhaps four Abrahamic religions are intent on making prophecy come true about the end of the world, you, Im guessing your a fundamentalist Barrack, should be thrilled about a bunch of extremists want to battle it out for, basically, the same GOD whether you call that GOD YHWH, Jesus, Elohim or Allah.
I just ask that if your going to do this, dont use the US military or its people for a small percentages belief and leave me and my soul out of your belief system. Thanks and have a really great evening, get you a Palin book, have a few drinks and sleep well.

They are empty because the states cannot afford to staff them properly. With the economic crunch, the states are cutting spending and prisons are no exception to the cuts. Hence they remain empty. The states cannot sell these buildings to a private company for another use which would do a tear down. The value is only the land which in the Midwest is not very high in small communities.

November 21st, 2009 at 5:31 pmAllow me to put the Gitmo detainees issue in perspective. During WW II America detained 500,000 German prisoners of war on our soil. That’s 500,000 trained enemy combat soldiers on our soil and nobody said a word. Now, they want place a tiny percentage of that number of middle eastern men in a prison in Michigan and the GOP is freaking out. This is either pure political grandstanding or the GOP is a bunch of terrified pussies. So my question to the GOP is, which is it??
