In another yet “factual” release, The most Honorable upon high Senator Dick Durbin made this statement in reference to the Guantanamo Bay Detainees movement to the state of Illinois:


“But Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, the second-highest ranking Democrat in the Senate, has insisted the prisoners could be held “safely and securely.

“No one has ever escaped from one of these facilities,” Durbin told a press conference last month.”


One would beg to differ my esteemed friend. In no particular order one finds:

Two Inmates Escape From Central Texas Federal Prison Facility

Two Women Escape from California Federal Prison (affiliated with the Manson Case. Maybe that was not high profile enough?)

John Kenneth Leighnor, Jr.

Murderer Escapes La. Federal Prison

Federal Prison Escapee Captured

Ex-Johnston art dealer back in court on escape charge (He actually surrendered – much like the GITMO Gang would if they should escape I’m sure)

Andrade Case (reviewed by the United States Supreme Court)


In only the last instance could one give Senator Durbin a “pass” on knowing about  the situation.

After all as only the “Second-Highest Ranking Democrat”, he might never have heard of that obscure body of the Judicial Branch.

My Opinion?

You might want to remove your foot from your mouth Sir.
