America-hating terrorists could be on their way to Colorado. And Gov. Bill Ritter is bringing them here.

More on that in a moment on the Face The State Radio Minute.

Colorado is home to some of the meanest, baddest criminals in the country. Thankfully, they’re locked up at the Federal Supermax prison in Florence. But they committed their crimes here on American soil, unlike the crazed terrorists soon to be freed from military custody in Guantanamo Bay.

Well, maybe not freed – just transferred to prisons on American soil. That in itself is a problem, as these thugs would then gain access to civil courts to challenge their imprisonment. But Gov. Bill Ritter sees no problem with any of this. In fact, he’s come out in support of the move. But a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers say they oppose the plan.

Meet your new neighbors, fresh from Al Qaeda training camps to Colorado’s front range.
