From the Denver Post:
PUEBLO, Colo.-Republicans who oppose moving terror suspects from Guantanamo Bay to Colorado’s Supermax prison now have a Democratic ally: Rep. John Salazar.
The Western Slope congressman says prisoners at the Cuba-based U.S. Naval detention center should not be sent to the maximum-security prison in Florence.“I frankly think it seems more appropriate to send them to military facilities,” Salazar said.
The Democrat echoed GOP fears about moving high-level terror suspects from Guantanamo, though Salazar stopped short of opposing President Barack Obama’s plan to close Guantanamo.

Sorry to rob you of your “gotcha,” but that does happen.
On second thought, we’ll play along–show us where Salazar said anything even remotely as hyperbolic and nutty as Cory Gardner’s “pipeline of terror from Kabul to Colorado” nonsense and we’ll do our best to get worked up about it.
Do you honestly think that bringing them here makes us any less safe? You’re one of the reasonable Republicans that post here, so I’m mildly surprised that that’s your opinion.
If your argument is a legal one, then I think I could understand it a little more.
