Hardin, a dusty town of 3,400 people so desperate that it built a $27 million jail a couple of years ago in the vain hope it would be a moneymaker, is offering to house hundreds of Gitmo detainees at the empty, never-used institution.
The medium-security jail was conceived as a holding facility for drunks and other scofflaws, but town leaders said it could be fortified with a couple of guard towers and some more concertina wire. Apart from that, it is a turnkey operation, fully outfitted with everything from cafeteria trays and sweatsocks to 88 surveillance cameras.
Just have the government spend a few billion dollars to upgrade the place to a SuperMax and then just house the terrorists there until they can be tried. If they are convicted then turn them around and send them right back here to serve out their sentence. Plus, Montana has the death penalty so they can be executed if they need to be. Seems like something that should be studied.
