76. The question the OP asked was not whether or not to close Gitmo,
is was why so many don't Gitmo prisoners in their state prisons.

You can still close Gitmo and not move those in prison there to state prisons.

What part of my premise is unlikely? True AQ members want to kill and will kill Americans if given the chance? That real (and I'm not talking some young men in the wrong place at the wrong time) AQ members who have been to training camps in Afghanistan have a higher % chance of escaping a state prison guarded by Joe Sixpack versus a Maximum Federal Security Facility.

There is also the question of whether or not it is legal under the Geneva Conventions to house POW's in state prisons.
