Tomorrow, the House is expected to take up the defense appropriations bill, and despite the good news coming out of Iraq in recent days, the Democratic leadership is prepared to do everything it can to tack on amendments aimed at discrediting the war on terror. The chairman of House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, Rep. Jack Murtha, says he will offer an amendment to shut down the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where approximately 360 jihadists captured abroad are being held. For years political opponents of the Bush administration led by organizations like the Center for Constitutional Rights, the hard-left outfit founded by attorney William Kunstler, have held that the overwhelming majority of Gitmo detainees are either innocents who were snatched up by unscrupulous bounty hunters for money and turned over to the U.S. military or low-level members of hostile groups who posed no real threat to U.S. military forces.
