Even Democrats Can Be Idiots

This from Michigan senator Carl Levin:
We should not be cowed by the terrorists so we don’t even keep them in maximum security prisons in the U.S. We cannot allow the terrorists to be intimidating us from trying them and keeping them in our jails.
The Democratic Governor, Jennifier Granholm, is not quite as confident as Levin.

Many of the people captured in Afghanistan and elsewhere who are held in Guantanamo and Bagram are, in fact, hardened, battle-tested terrorists. These guys received some pretty hard-core training, training that I believe would rival our Army Rangers, Navy Seals, etc. They are trained to seize any opportunity to escape. I'm not trying to characterize the lot of them as super-human villains in the movies. But there have to be enough of them dangerous enough and committed enough through their belief systems that nothing short of supermax incarceration is in order.
