Rep. John Murtha's invitation to house Guantanamo Bay detainees in his district has some local officials seeing dollar signs -- even though Murtha's comment was met with disbelief by others.
The Pennsylvania Democrat, chairman of the defense subcommittee for appropriations, is renowned for his ability to steer earmarked dollars to his district.
And after Murtha told FOX News that he'd be willing to take in terrorist suspects, some saw it as a job-creation opportunity. His district's maximum-security prisons are full, according to the state Department of Corrections, so a new prison would likely be needed to house any of the 245 detainees now in Cuba.
An excellent choice. But lets let the district and its representatives that opposed the operation of Gitmo play host to these folks on their own dime.Hell, lets adhere to the constitution and standard legal procedure and just let all of them bail out and live in halfway houses in Murtha's district.[:@]

PA offers lawyers and freedom. Do you deny that these detainee's constitutional right to due process has been violated? Criminals have been set free for much less.

Uh, hello, the vast majority of the detainees are not US citizens and therefore do not have constitutional rights. What flavor Kool aid were you drinking?
