Gov. Sebelius tells Bambi: no Gitmo guys in Kansas
2009-02-09
Read the letter Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius wrote to Obama. She supports closing the detention facility at Guantanamo but she doesn't want the prisoners transferred to Kansas. Fort Leavenworth, you see, isn't suitable because it doesn't have what it takes to house the hard boyz.

Hey, maybe someone should have thought of that before, you know, making the decision to close Gitmo.

And the Left can't understand why no one takes them seriously.

#9  P2K, surely they have a rifle range. That can be used as an execution site if needed.

#6  Fort Leavenworth currently does not have a medical facility

Hmmm, the gov be playing with words on DoD classification. The Munson Army Medical 'Facility' has the capacity to function as a hospital. The ex had her emergency appendix/cyst removal done on site and bed care for several days thereafter in the ward. If they've cut back staffing and outsourced medical support, that can be fixed by restaffing to accommodate the 'special' guests.

The gov also skips over that besides the USDB at Fort Leavenworth, there's the federal pen as well as a state's men and women's pen in the immediate area. It's not like the locals are particularly frightened by the prospect of more prisoners showing up.

#5  We have a facility in New Orleans that can hold them. St. Louis Cemetery No. 2. Can even apply VooDoo to keep them there.

#4  Placing maximum security detainees in the facility will require significant changes to the USDB so it can be protected from security risks from outside the complex. A mission the Army is well suited for.

Fort Leavenworth currently does not have a medical facility This was never the Governor's concern regarding US Military personnel, civilians, and retirees.




Interesting, a state governor attempting to tell the President what to do with a military installation? Quite frankly, if FTLW can't handle them, then Supermax in Florence Co, is the only facility that can.
