The following rant was submitted by a very passionate citizen.  It comes to you in its entirety.

In joining other House Republicans to pitch legislation that would effectively block any Git-mo detainees from "touching" U.S. soil, Rep. Pete King on Thursday went for the lowest of the low hanging fruit:

“The thought of having any number of these detainees… being literally in the shadow of Ground Zero I find not just offensive but also extremely dangerous,” King said.

Yep, ’cause there’s nothing more dangerous to New Yorkers than the — gasp — thought of prisoners being detained anywhere near the island.  Oh, wait, except, of course, for the 18,000 regular prisoners jailed… er, on the island.

I guess he means that suspected terrorist will somehow be held less securely than your typical kind of prisoner?  Or did King just admit that it’s really easy to slip out of jail in New York (if so I’ve been going about my visits to the Big Apple ALL wrong)?
