YIMBY: From Gtmo to Little Bighorn?

Officials at the county jail in Hardin, Montana, say they have plenty of Big Sky room for Gtmo detainees. Thanks for stepping up, fellows.

I once spent the night in Hardin and enjoyed it, but I also enjoyed leaving the next morning, heading out to the Little Bighorn battlefield. (The coolest part of my family's visit was attending the opening of the evening pow-wow of the Crow Fair, "the world's largest gathering of teepees," at which the color guard wore both their military uniforms -- Army, Navy and Marine, as I recall -- and their Indian headdresses.) Montana's three-man congressional delegation, which is two-thirds Democratic, opposes this, of course. Just when you think the waterboard-accepting U.S. Congress couldn't get any more disappointing, it does.
