Amnesty and Gitmo

I won't say too much here about this, Powerline and Instapundit have been covering it well. However, I have to relate something that Powerline noted about Democrats response to this. Apparently Nancy Pelosi called for the closing of Guantanamo in order that we might have a "clean slate in the Muslim world."
The Deacon strips that down and reveals what a load of horse manure that is.

Pelosi also fails to recognize that any brownie points we might conceivably gain by closing Gitmo would be lost the first time a Muslim (aided by the MSM and liberal Democrats like Pelosi) claimed that abuse was occurring at some other facility or locale. As I have said before, if Gitmo didn't exist, our enemies and critics would have to invent it, as they basically have.

On the morning of 9/11, this was a 50-50 nation politically. Since then, the Republicans have gained a clear upper hand. That's not because Americans are happy about what's happening in Iraq or overjoyed about our economy. It's because Americans realize that the Democratic party is not completely serious when it comes to fighting terrorism. Pelosi's comment shows that one of the party's leaders isn't serious at all.

In the mean time, Amnesty has lost all it's marbles.
