Dingy Harry and Democrats Try to Cover for Obama's Gitmo Mistake

Dingy Harry and Democrats Try to Cover for Obama's Gitmo Mistake: "I just got a note from Andrew McCarthy, who, as you know, was on the prosecution team that put the blind sheik, Omar Abdel Rahman, behind bars. He was listening to the program as we discussed the use of Gitmo by the Democrats as a propaganda tool, saying that our imprisonment of these innocent waifs has led to the creation of more terrorists. And Andy writes, 'This drives me nuts. Obama, Durbin, Powell, the titular head of the Republican Party, McCain, a bunch of people who know zero about radical Islam, all say that Gitmo and Abu Ghraib and waterboarding and fill-in-the-blank has become an Al-Qaeda recruiting tool. This is something I know about, Rush. I prosecuted terrorists. I've interviewed them. I've infiltrated informants into terrorist networks. The biggest recruiting tool for terrorists is successful terrorist attacks. What draws those on the fence to the movement is the belief that it can and will win. When Osama and the blind sheik recruit, their pitch is that the US is the weak horse. If you make things bloody enough for us, we'll give up.' Successful terror attacks are the number one recruitment tool. So you'd have to say that the Bush administration preventing all and any terrorist attacks on our soil did more to harm the recruitment of terrorists by Al-Qaeda than anything Obama or the Democrats have in mind."
