Mike Huckabee is one of my favorite Republican candidates: sure, I do not agree with him on everything, he’s too socially conservative for my taste, but he sounds like a reasonable man, who knows what he is talking about.
Now, however, he said something quite stupid:
I know it’s become a symbol of what’s wrong. I visited Guantanamo just about a year ago. My sense was, because I visited every single prison in the Arkansas prison system, and I can tell you most of our prisoners would love to be in a facility more like Guantanamo and less like the state prisons that people are in in the United States.
That’s probably because they get sick and tired of having their lawyers around all day long huh (a problem the prisoners at Gitmo don’t have)?
