Oh great. Now the bad guys will be wandering all over the place, playing in our back yards, escaping into our cities, spreading terrorism all over the country via those lax supermax prisons... what a mess! What could our representatives be thinking?! Hide the kids! Get out the assault weapons! Pull out the terror alert color charts!

Gaaaa!

The US House of Representatives voted Thursday to allow Guantanamo Bay detainees to be brought to US soil for trial, boosting President Barack Obama's efforts to close the notorious facility.

The green light came in a 42.7-billion-dollar 2010 spending bill for the US Department of Homeland Security, which cleared the House by a 307-114 margin, setting the stage for a political battle in the Senate.
