The US has successfully tried many alleged high level terrorists and Al-Qaeda operatives before and after 9/11. They're housed, of course, on US soil in US prisons and have posed few if any problems. Yet there are many who claim that closing Guantanamo and trying terror suspects in the United States is somehow a threat to national security.
Today on GRITtv VINCE WARREN of the Center for Constitutional Rights, Army Lieutenant Col. DARREL VANDEVELD, a former military prosecutor at Guantanamo who resigned in September of last year, and Law Professor VIJAY PADMANABHAN on the prosecution of terror suspects.
Thanks Laura!

I think Obama ought to ask the federal prison officials who among them is unable to hold a prisoner. Everyone raising their hands ought to be fired. On the spot.
Maybe he could do it at a White House dinner. With full press.

The Clinton Administration prosecuted and incarcerated the first World Trade Center bombers. They have been in US prisons for a little more than a decade. What is the big deal?
