America: From the Greatest Generation to---a Nation of Pussies???

(Via Talking Points Memo)

Number of Gitmo detainees that the GOP hopes to keep off mainland U.S. soil with its "Keep Terrorists Out Of America Act": roughly 250.

Number of Axis POWs detained in camps on the U.S. mainland at the end of WWII: roughly 425,000.

The Republicans will do anything to whip up a phony issue. I'm more worried about the prisoners in Pelican Bay that the few so-called terrorists in Gitmo. And are you really telling me the nation that imprisons more people than anywhere else in the world can't take care of 250 detainees?
