The Jihad Ritz Martyrdom Hotel

Berlin - The United States and its allies must make sacrifices to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday in a high-profile appeal for Europe's help. Holder spoke to the American Academy in Berlin, not long after telling reporters that the United States had approved the release of about 30 Guantanamo detainees. "We must all make sacrifices and we must all be willing to make unpopular choices," said Holder. "The United States is ready to do its part, and we hope that Europe will join us - not out of a sense of responsibility, but from a commitment to work with one of its oldest allies to confront one of the world's most pressing challenges," he said.
Holder spoke before a select group of policy experts, academics and journalists in a crowded room of about 100. In answer to a question about Bush administration officials' decisions to authorize tough interrogation techniques, Holder said he believed that many of them would, privately, admit to having made some mistakes in the pressure and worry that followed the Sept. 11 attacks. "I don't suspect that would be true of Vice President Dick Cheney," Holder added. At another point, a questioner earnestly asked if those Guantanamo detainees who are believed to be innocent could be put in a hotel somewhere. "Hotels might be a possibility, it depends on where the hotel is," joked Holder. Check out is 11AM

As for the detainees... Why not spread them out throughout small southern jails? Only one prisoner per town jail.
hmmm. I'm not sure the detainees even deserve that.
