Pye dismantles stupid GOP talking point
May 22, 2009 at 5:45 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsGeorgia Libertarian megablogger Jason Pye has chopped, diced and filleted the idiotic GOP talking point asserting it’s somehow dangerous to close Gitmo and hold suspected terrorists in federal prisons.
Pye accomplishes said task by resorting to an exceptionally cunning rhetorical trick known as “stating actual facts”:
Pye:
“[T}here are already terrorists imprisoned in the United States who have committed or were planning to commit acts of terrorism, including several al-Qaeda members, both before and after 9/11."
He goes on to name 20 of them.
