The closing of Gitmo will be a victory for Al Qaida, not a great victory, but a victory nonetheless. Why? If you were Bin Ladin where would you want the detainees to be incarcerated? Where they would do Al Qaida the most good, of course. Gitmo as a rallying cry for swelling Al Qaida's ranks is terrorist propaganda and a leftist myth. Terrorists who claim that they joined Al Qaida because of prisoner abuse at Abu Gharib and Gitmo are trained to lie and taught to say that. The object of anti-Gitmo propaganda is to close down the facility where the detainees only see each other, their lawyers and prison guards and do Al Qaida little good. On shore in a Federal prison the detainees at least have the chance, however small, of spreading their poisonous ideology to other inmates and making deadly converts. The absurd outcry against Gitmo as a symbol of prisoner abuse most likely originated with Al Qaida; when the facility closes down and its inmates are gone it will be a propaganda victory for them. This is another stark example of the lunatic Left acting as the witless agents and dupes of our enemies; unfortunately it now includes the president.
