Really?

Yeah.

It's not good.

So, so the, the PACs called me and they said, look, we've, we've literally filled the jail.

You got to do something with these guys.

I said, okay, so I call headquarters.

I said, the PACs are telling me that the jail's full.

What do you want to do with them?

They said, put them on a C-12 and send them to Guantanamo.

I said, Guantanamo, Cuba?

Why would we send them to Cuba?

And they said, we came up with this idea.

We're going to send everybody to Cuba and then we're going to divide them up.

after we figure out what federal district court to charge them with, because nine 11 was an open criminal investigation at the time.

And the crimes were committed in the Eastern district of Massachusetts, hijacking the Western district of Pennsylvania, hijacking the Eastern district of Virginia, the Pentagon and the Southern district of New York.

I said, that's a great idea.

So we just started loading these guys on an endless parade of C-12 transport planes and sending them to Guantanamo.

And then somebody in Dick Cheney's office, probably David Addington, although he's never admitted it, somebody said, you know what?

These guys don't have any rights in Cuba.

why don't we just leave them there like forever?
