"Kansas&amp;apos; NIMBYism should be San Francisco&amp;apos;s gain.\n\nFor some reason people are queasy about the idea of importing the fat, bearded, mass-murdering likes of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed from GITMO into the United States. Residents near Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, a prime candidate for housing the actual bad guys from Guantanamo, are already complaining.\n\nAn immodest proposal: Let&amp;apos;s house them on Alcatraz. \n\n\n\nMake it modern and secure. But also keep it open as a tourist attraction. \n\nThese guys are not super heroes. They&amp;apos;re not Houdini&amp;apos;s. They&amp;apos;re easily contained. And we should make a show of how toothless they really are. \n\nPlus, it&amp;apos;d make one hell of a tourist draw.\n\nUPDATE: Well it looks like I&amp;apos;m thinking like a Right Wing Republican these days. The great minds of Kit Bond, Bill Young and yours truly had the same half-serious joke. So it goes. \n\nDiane Feinstien has already gone so far as to poo poo the idea, through her spokesman: &amp;quot;These facilities would be suitable for detainees. Alcatraz is a national park and tourist attraction, not a functioning prison, and Senator Feinstein does not consider it a suitable place to house detainees.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
