Gitmo without the Name

Its similar to Gitmo but the location for the prison will be different, somehow that will allay the criticism of the hyper-ventilating left and their partners in outrage over sees:

Republican politicians and human-rights activists rarely agree on how to treat terrorist suspects, but they are unwitting allies in opposition to the Obama Administration's latest proposal: the creation of a special facility in the continental U.S. where Gitmo inmates could be detained, tried and imprisoned.

President Obama's interagency task force on detention policy is considering such a plan, and the most likely locations are the military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kans., and a soon-to-close maximum-security prison in Standish, Mich. The proposal calls for a facility that will include a detention center for terror suspects, courtrooms for criminal trials and military commissions, and a prison for those they sentence. The facility - to be run jointly by the departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Defense - would also house suspects being indefinitely detained, as well as those who have been found innocent but can't be repatriated because no other country will take them. (See pictures of U.S. troops' six years in Iraq.)

The plan, which was first reported by the Associated Press, has been met with predictable outrage from the predictable quarters. Republican leaders - as well as quite a few Democrats - oppose bringing Gitmo detainees to the U.S. mainland on the grounds that they would pose a security threat. Senator Sam Brownback and Representative Jerry Moran, both Kansas Republicans, are leading the not-in-our-backyard brigade at Fort Leavenworth; both have denounced the task force's proposal as a bad idea. (There are indications that there may be local support for the Standish plan, which would save the 600-cell prison from imminent closure and preserve local jobs.) "My belief is that at this point those prisoners belong in GuantÁnamo Bay," Moran told Fox News. "Maybe there's something that needs to be done in regard to the trial or the ability to release [detainees] ... but not here in the U.S." Congress has barred funding for bringing detainees to the U.S. until the Administration comes up with a satisfactory plan to shutter Gitmo.

I suppose the court rooms will be for military commissions, another issue Obama backpedaled on.
