Bye bye Gitmo?
WASHINGTON -- Key House Democrats said Thursday they are considering a plan to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by the end of 2008, with the exception of several dozen detainees in the war on terror who would be kept at the facility and tried there.
Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said he hopes to include the provision in legislation this spring that Democrats also intend to use to try to prevent further increases in troop strength in the war in Iraq.
Without public notice, Murtha dispatched Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., to the detention center at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay on a one-day trip late last month to recommend ways for closing it. Both men said the prison has become counterproductive as the United States tries to win converts overseas in the war on terror.
"Without closing it, this just plays into the propaganda of the enemy," Moran said in an interview.

To say nothing of playing into the propaganda of the Enemy Within.
The only problem with Gitmo is that these a-holes are catered to like guests at Club Med: prayer mats, Islamic-ly correct meals, Korans!
Did we furnish Nazi POWs with copies of Mein Kampf?!?!
Our patience with Murtha has been exhausted.
Yeah, he wore the uniform 35 or so years ago, but he has been beating the drum of defeat for the past couple years.
The statute of limitations on honor has long since run out for this joker.
Like John Kerry before him, Murtha continues to do the bidding of the savages who would behead all of us who would not accept the Sharia.
"[C]ounterproductive"?! Guys like Moran, Murtha and Kerry are counterproductive in the War on Islamofascism.
Screw all of 'em.
