Morgan Carroll Gets Her GITMO Wish

Because of Democrats like Morgan Carroll, President Obama today officially moved forward with his plan to close GITMO, making Colorado a prime target site for the relocation of terrorist detainees. While elected officials in other states being considered as relocation sites were making every effort to keep terrorists out of their backyards, Morgan Carroll all but rolled out the red carpet. From the Denver Post:

“If we don’t have the evidence, we should quit holding people indefinitely,” said Carroll, who added that the U.S. should “charge, try and prosecute” the detainees and hold them in the most secure facility that’s available — even if it’s in Colorado.

The consequences of Carroll’s blind partisanship are not hypothetical. Because Carroll and her liberal allies were more worried about marching in lockstep with their party, Colorado is now at the top of the list to house terrorists responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans.

NRCC Comment: “Thanks to Democrats like Morgan Carroll who refused to speak out against the president’s plan, Colorado is at the top of the list of relocation sites for GITMO terrorists who are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. Carroll has been more interested in marching in lockstep with her party instead of standing up for the safety of Colorado families.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
