MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

SUBJECT: Directing Certain Actions with Respect to Acquisition and Use of
Thomson Correctional Center

By the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including by article II, section 2, clause 1 of the Constitution, which designates the President as Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and by the Authorization for Use of Military Force, Public Law 107-40, 115 Stat. 224, I hereby direct that the following actions be taken with respect to the facility known as the Thomson Correctional Center (TCC) in Thomson, Illinois:

1. The Secretary of Defense shall relocate detainees currently held at the Guantanamo Detention Facility to the TCC as expeditiously as possible, to the extent permitted by laws related to Guantanamo detainees, and consistent with the findings in, and interagency Review established by, Executive Order 13492 of January 22, 2009.

2. The Attorney General shall as expeditiously as possible acquire and activate the TCC as a United States Penitentiary, which the Attorney General has determined would alleviate the Bureau of Prisons’ shortage of maximum security cell space and could be used for other appropriate purposes. The
Attorney General shall also provide to the Department of Defense a sufficient portion of the TCC to serve as a detention facility to be operated by the Department of Defense, to accommodate the relocation of detainees by the Secretary of Defense in accordance with paragraph 1 of this memorandum.

This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

The Secretary of Defense is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

Anybody been following what's going on in The Philipines ?

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Saturday, December 12th at 11:10PM EST (link)

The ‘bit of a row’ going on there for a bunch of years is ramping up over the past month…….. Massacre of 57 (mainly reporters and women), current mass-hostage situation in a village under martial law, now this break-in/break-out.

Gee, I wonder what they all have in common ?

Nope.

Nothing to see here.

Nothing at all.

Update: Phililpine hostage situation ends...... This you gotta see to believe.

Philippine tribal gunmen free all 47 hostages.

http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/philippine-tribal-gunmen-free-all-47-hostages-20091213-kqjj.html

Tribal gunmen in the southern Philippines on Sunday released 47 hostages they had been holding for three days, after authorities agreed not to arrest them and animals were sacrificed.

snip

“Yes at last! Yahoo!,” vice governor Santiago Cane said in a mobile phone text message to the media after he picked up the hostages from the gunmen’s hideout in a cleared patch of jungle on a mountaintop.

In a more bizarre effort to placate the kidnappers, negotiators also Sunday brought in tribal leaders to sacrifice animals as part of a ritual demanded by Perez in overnight talks.

One black pig and three chickens were slaughtered, while 10 boiled eggs and 10 bottles of local wine were offered to the gods.

After the ceremony, Cane took Perez to a local restaurant where he met in private with Governor Valentina Plaza and the deal was struck to give the kidnappers immunity from police action.

Meanwhile, Al Qaeda-linked militants on the island of Basilan are still holding three hostages after beheading another captive on Wednesday.

Hey, was vice-governor Cane texting while driving ? We wouldn’t want government officials doing anything wrong now, would we ?

Still nothing to see here……. Move on, you Lookie-Lou’s.

Al Qaeda's Zawahiri "will not forget" its members held in American prisons

Al Qaeda’s Zawahiri Accuses Obama of Trying to ‘Enslave’ Arab World

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,580162,00.html?test=latestnews

The terror network’s No. 2 said the group “will not forget” its members held in American prisons.

He specifically mentioned Ramzi Youssef, convicted and now serving a life sentence for the first World Trade Center attack in 1993, and also Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Al Qaeda’s mastermind of the September 11 bombings.

Mohammed and four others, held for years at the military base in Guantanamo Bay, are due to stand trial on charges they plotted the September 2001 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 

Illinois Prison to House Some Gitmo Detainees

Here it comes Illinois – The Gitmo inmates cannot receive visitors – I am sure all of that will change when they move to the Thomson Correctional Center. Why I reckon you will see Mosques springing up all over. Maybe someone can start an Islamic Gift Shop. Signed copies of the Koran from Obama!!!

The US chapter of Hizb Ut Tahrir is based in Illinois.

Look ‘em up.

Really nice neighborly folks…. The arts and croissants crowd has nothin’ on ‘em for class and community organizing.

 

Hmm, If I'm right I've heard that it's against the law to bring them here

Richard Mullins (Diary) Tuesday, December 15th at 10:25PM EST (link)

so Obama needs to change the law to do what he wants. That should take some time(maybe the house needs to make a bill to do so unless it was an EO).

May as well call ‘em all Sgt. Schultz when it comes to the law, individual rights of civilians and The Constitution.

They see nussink, they know nussink…………..and they don’t care a tinker’s cuss.

Kenny, I'm guessing that they knew that it was against current law and ware working to change it

Richard Mullins (Diary) Tuesday, December 15th at 10:45PM EST (link)

They are just waiting for the right time to do it. If it’s an EO then it will come quickly. I’m bringing it up because McConnell brought it up in a press conference today. I wonder if any one has seen the press conference with Governor Quinn and Senator Turbin of Illinois.

Changing GITMO’s Address, Doesn’t Change Terrorists Motives

The same people who have brought you 10 percent unemployment, government run health care and a national energy tax are now attempting to bequeath you with another unwanted holiday gift. This time, however, the stakes are even higher as they want to bring terrorists to US soil.

Two al Qaeda Leaders Behind Northwest Flight 253 Terror Plot Were Released by U.S.

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.

American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an “art therapy rehabilitation program” and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.

Guantanamo prisoner #333, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi, and prisoner #372, Said Ali Shari, were sent to Saudi Arabia on Nov. 9, 2007, according to the Defense Department log of detainees who were released from American custody. Al-Harbi has since changed his name to Muhamad al-Awfi.

Here is what I cannot believe: That U.S. authorities actually admitted
that they were released from GITMO in 2007…oh wait!! They were released while Bush was president!!! See it is all Bush’s fault!!
