What to do with the terrorist at Gitmo

Washington Post:

The Bush administration is developing a long-range plan to empty the Guantanamo Bay military prison that could include asking Congress to spell out procedures for scores of suspected terrorists whom the government does not plan to bring to trial, administration officials and others familiar with high-level White House discussions on the issue said yesterday.

Under one scenario being considered by President Bush's Cabinet, about 80 detainees would remain at the facility in Cuba to be tried by military commissions, and about 65 others would be turned over to their native countries, according to several sources familiar with the talks, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

But the focus of the intensifying debate is what to do with about 120 remaining prisoners, who are viewed by the administration as too dangerous to release but who are unlikely to be brought before military commissions because of a lack of evidence. Officials are considering whether to propose legislation in coming days that would establish legal procedures for such prisoners, who could be transferred to military or civilian prisons on the U.S. mainland, sources said.

Here is what Congress and the President should do with the 120 who cannot be brought to trial. Congress can determine the jurisdiction of the courts. It should provide that those 120 detainees will have their Habeas Corpus petitions heard only in the Supreme Court. Give the five justices who made the ruling on Habeas the responsibility for what happens when these terrorist are freed. Make them responsible for the 120 Willie Hortons they would set free. The blood that they shed will be on the hands of the five justices and the liberal interest groups who are responsible for setting them loose to engage in mass murder of non combatants.
