Stay classy, Fox. Kudos to Murtha, representing the state where United 93 was brought down, for making light of the republican claim that our domestic prisons simply can't hold the tear-wrists:

Saw through the bars with a sharpened spoon? Team up with Jimmy Cagney on some dig out through a tunnel plan?

Remember how if we leave, they'll follow us home? People are a) stupid and b) cowardly enough to believe this crap. Never forget it. Fox sure hasn't.

Update: Larry Johnson explains it more forcefully than I could:

Now we confront a relatively small number of radical religious nuts. They are great at using their religious beliefs to threaten us. They talk a lot of shit and post it on the internet. Yet, despite their sincere desire to harm us they cannot and have not attacked us at will where ever and when ever they want. Our countermeasures have been pretty good and the Bin Laden crowd has not received much love in the muslim world. Yet in the face of these threats to harm us we want to fold our judicial system, surrender our Constitution, crawl into a fetal position and start sucking our thumbs? De we seriously believe that we as a people are incapable of dealing with this horrific, terrible threat within our territory just because the terrorists don’t fight fair and use nasty methods? Makes you ashamed to call yourself an American.
