COMMENTS: Pendleton, Leavenworth, Supermax or the Brig?
Ahmed Ghailani arrived in New York City to stand trial for the 1998 bombing of the United States' embassies to Kenya and Tanzania. Yet ABC's justice correspondent Pierre Thomas chose not to cover the case against Ghailani--the bombs killed more than 200--but the fate of Ghailani's fellow inmates instead. Ghailani had been detained at the camp at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay. Thomas quoted "some critics" as claiming that Ghailani's prosecution "has opened the floodgates" to the arrival of 178 other detainees onto the mainland. Thomas offered a shortlist of four venues for their renewed incarceration: Camp Pendleton, Fort Leavenworth, the Florence Supermax in Colorado and the brig at the naval base in Charleston SC
