Send Scooter Libby to Gitmo

  I kind of like that idea, don't you? Since a judge has ordered that Libby must spend his time in the slammer I think that we should let him go to Guantanamo for his vacation. So do the fine people over at Act For change, it would seem.

  This group is always sending letters to our Senators and Congressmen with some very good ideas. Below is the letter that I have sent to my state Senators. Keep in mind that they are both Republicans, so this should go over real well!

Former President Bush called them the "most insidious of traitors." He was referring, of course, to those who reveal the identities of America's covert operatives.

Scooter Libby is a traitor and is being detained in jail while his appeals are being heard.  Why not send Libby to Gitmo? Unlike other people currently detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, he's been convicted of his crimes in a court of law. You might say this is inappropriate -- but if it isn't good enough for Libby, then it isn't good enough for anyone.

I ask that you publicly call for Scooter Libby to be imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- or, join fellow senators in co-sponsoring legislation to shut down Guantanamo.  Senator Feinstein has introduced legislation (S. 1249) that will require President Bush to shut down the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

You should sign on as a co-sponsor -- or publicly call for Scooter Libby to serve his sentence there.

I look forward to your response to my letter.

  That was sent to both Senator Elizabeth dole and Richard Burr here in north Carolina. Burr will probably get a little mad because he pretty much is a Bush brown noser.
