Gitmo inmates will become Jihadi rock stars inside American prisons
Prison isn’t a bad place to be an anti-American. Murdering thug George Jackson used his prison time to murder a prison guard, form the Black Guerilla Family (a Marxist prison gang), and make himself an object of worship for upscale urban progressives. Jackson’s celebrity helped ignite two seperate violent attempts to free him. The first cost 3 people their lives and the second resulted in another 6 deaths. A judge and three prison guards lost their lives in these attempts.
President Obama wants to assure us that no Gitmo detainee will ever escape from an American prison. But once inside an American prison, any one of the hundreds of Gitmo prisoners could likely become the next George Jackson (a romantic anti-American manipulating soft headed radicals into violent attempted prison breaks).
Steven Emerson points out another significant risk associated with bringing Gitmo prisoners to American prisoners:
That President Obama now wants to transfer hundreds of hardened jihadists into American prisons is a guarantee that they will serve as emissaries and proselytizers of jihad to the thousands of prisoners they are exposed to. In virtually no time, it is all but certain — based on past patterns of radical Islamic growth in jails that we have investigated — that we will witness the number of radical Islamic inmates multiply by thousands, maybe more.
The Guantanamo prisoners will be looked up as jihadi rock stars and each one could potentially produce a hundred new ticking time bombs ultimately walking the streets of America. Although the President tried to reassure us that no inmate has ever escaped from a super maximum security prison, what about the newly indoctrinated jihadists among the existing inmates who will be certainly released after their terms are up? In light of the massive damage and death that only four converts to Islam in prison could have carried out as witnessed in the interdiction of the recent terror plot, one cannot even begin to imagine the potential for damage and death a thousand times greater were there to be a whole new generation of hardened jihadists walking the streets of the US with an agenda of nothing but murder and destruction. FBI agents with whom I have spoke say that the transfer of prisoners to the US is insane, pure and simple.
So for every terrorist transferred to an American prison from Gitmo, we could have dozens if not hundreds of criminals-turned-terrorists leaving prison when their sentence is up.
