South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint isn't happy about a plan to potentially move Guantanamo Bay detainees into his state's Naval Consolidated Brig:
"Transferring detainees from Guantanamo Bay to U.S. soil will endanger American lives. If the new administration tries to move these known terrorists to South Carolina, they should be ready for a fight."
UPDATE!: Over Eric Cantor's dead body, too:
“Actively moving terrorists inside our borders weakens our security, raises far more questions than it answers and is the wrong track for our nation. Most families neither want nor need hundreds of terrorists seeking to kill Americans in their communities. We need to have a serious, careful, and realistic national discussion about the ramifications of closing Guantanamo Bay.”
Glenn Greenwald thinks this is just Republican Scare Tactics version 2009.
