Should Gitmo be Used for Those Who Raped and Pillaged our Economy?

Years ago, reporters for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer are reporting this week, the FBI knew that home mortgage scams were being perpetrated by banks all across the country. They told the Bush Administration, and were denied agents or resources to pursue their cases.

......................

Today we learn that the very hustlers who helped destroy our economy, the so-called "investment bankers" at Morgan Stanley and AIG (who have gotten billions of our taxpayer dollars in the recent bailouts) will be getting their bonuses this year, to the tune of $1.13 million in cash for the 400 brokers at AIG.

But while they should be denied their bonuses, the criminals for whom we should re-open Gitmo are Phil Gramm, John Boner, and the other Republicans who changed laws reaching back to the Republican Great Depression of the 1930s to prevent exactly these types of scams.

Reopen Gitmo! Get it ready for the Republicans!

1. even as snark this doesn't work

either we believe in closing Gitmo because it's inhumane, or we believe it's ok to treat some people in an inhumane manner. Hartmann could make his case without the gitmo nonsense.

2. I think that's a splendid idea

Noone is saying we must torture the prisoners. Locking them up there would be sweet justice.

3. Just tell them it's an executive retreat on a sunny island
