Obama on Transferring Gitmo Detainees: ‘Maximum Security Prisons Work Just Fine’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"We'll be consulting in the near future on that issue. I also want to point out that in contrast to the commission process, our article three federal courts have proven to have an outstanding record of convicting some of the most hardens terrorists. These prosecutions allow for the gathering of intelligence against terrorist groups. It proves that we can both prosecute terrorists and protect the American people. Think about it. Terrorists like the shoe bomber and others who tried to blow up an airplane other Detroit, one who put a car bomb in time square, and one who bombed the Boston marathon, they were all convicted in our article three courts and are now behind bars here in the United States. So we can capture terrorists, protect the American people, and when done right, we can try them and put them in our maximum security prisons and it work just fine."
