Obama Wants Terror Prison For Civilians

The Obama administration is looking at creating a courtroom-within-a-prison complex in the U.S. to house suspected terrorists, combining military and civilian detention facilities at a single maximum-security prison.
The facility would operate as a hybrid prison system jointly operated by the Justice Department, the military and the Department of Homeland Security.

Democrats are supporting this as the best among a series of bad options.
Republicans are opposing this as if indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay is the only other option.

Indefinite detention is, however, still in the cards. This proposed prison will include long-term holding cells for detainees who will not face trial because intelligence and counterterror officials conclude they are too dangerous to risk being freed.
