(2006-09-07) — President George Bush, faced with concerns for the civil rights of 14 suspected high-level Islamic terrorists who had been held secretly by the CIA, today altered his plan to house them at Guantanamo Bay pending military tribunals, and said instead they would be jailed in several cloak rooms on Capitol Hill.
“Our friends in Congress want to assure that these men get fair treatment like any U.S. citizen,” said Mr. Bush, “so we’re going to detain them where every member of Congress can easily observe their detention conditions and treatment.”
The President said his new proposal represents “a reasonable compromise with those who think the objective of the war on terror is to provide American rights and freedoms to the people who worked and planned to destroy America, along with our rights and freedoms.”
Democrats in the Senate immediately introduced a bill to provide funding for the ACLU to get the terror suspects released on bond.
