Our Wimpy SuperMaxes?

Anybody else starting to worry about the inadequacy of our "supermax" prisons? Apparently, were we to put detainees from Gitmo in them, they'd prance right out and be frolicking their way to the bomb store in hours.

Man, we really ought to build better prisons than that, I say...

We should probably get at least a five day waiting period instantiated in those bomb stores, too..

You forget, Winston, that Al-Queda members are exposed to gamma radiation upon induction, and therefore possess superstrength, lazer vision, and the ability to manipulate metal objects. They can only be held suspended in giant lucite boxes buried hundreds of feet below ground.

For the party that claims to brave, manly, and tough on terror in contrast to the Democrat Socialist wimps who want to surrender to the enemy, the Republicans sure are scared of these prisoners. One might go so far as to say they were... terrified of them.

I've always been sure that this was just an act to make people scared and easier to manipulate, but sometimes I wonder. Have they fallen into the trap of believing their own agitprop?

I need those bombs for hunting and home defense, Mystic, and I need them NOW.

Erik makes a good point. This kind of puts in international perspective:
