Rep. King Fear-Mongers On Obama’s Plan To Close Gitmo: It Could Give 9/11 Mastermind A ‘Path To Citizenship’»

Yesterday, President Obama signed an executive order requiring that Guantanamo Bay be closed within a year. Obama’s order has been criticized by some conservatives, such as Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI), who issued a statement saying that it “places hope ahead of reality” and was “unnecessarily risking the safety of our nation.”

Discussing Obama’s plan to close Guantanamo on Mike Gallagher’s radio show yesterday, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) claimed that Obama’s actions could be “the beginning of shutting down…the activities of the CIA.” When Gallagher said that Obama wanted to “bestow American citizenship rights to somebody from another country” who wants “to murder civilian Americans,” King claimed that closing Gitmo could put 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed “on a path to citizenship”:

KING: Let’s just say that, that, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, is brought to the United States to be tried in a federal court in the United States, under a federal judge, and we know what some of those judges do, and on a technicality, such as, let’s just say he wasn’t read his Miranda rights. … He is released into the streets of America. Walks over and steps up into a US embassy and applies for asylum for fear that he can’t go back home cause he spilled the beans on al Qaeda. What happens then if another judge grants him asylum in the United States and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is on a path to citizenship. I mean, I give you the extreme example of this.

King then took a shot at efforts to increase access to health care for children, saying that if Gitmo were closed, detainees “could actually live in the United States legally, and maybe, and after Nancy Pelosi gets done with S-CHIP, they can tap into welfare while they’re at it.” Listen here: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/01/23/king-ksm-citizenship/


King isn’t alone in his fear-mongering about the closing of Guantanamo Bay. Announcing legislation yesterday to prohibit federal courts from ordering the release or transfer of detainees from the facility onto U.S. soil, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) declared that “closing Guantanamo Bay presents a clear and present danger to all Americans.” ...........(more)

1. King's an embarassment to our state, marmar.

Western Iowa might as well be S. Dakota. Or Nebraska.

4. The not ready for prime time players move forward

Between King and Cornyn, the fourth string back-benchers are seeing their opportunity and scampering to the front. Pathetic. Unready. Feet in their mouths so much they have athlete's tongue. They are not to be taken seriously.
