Jonathan Chait, on this whole "they're releasing the terrorists into YOUR neighborhood!" nonsense:
Even assuming that terrorists could break out of a maximum security prison, what do we imagine they will do, stranded in come tiny town with no money, weapons, knowledge of the local terrain or ability to speak English?... I suppose [Michael] Goldfarb imagines that, having escaped from a maximum security prison, a terrorist would immediately roam the countryside killing civilians with his bare hands, someting Nazis were either unwilling or incapable of doing."Posted by Stephen Silver at May 8, 2009 07:11 PM
