Am i crazy or did Tom Harkin just say that he didn't know if there was a maximum security prison in Iowa?
Ed asked Harkin if he'd mind if any detainees were released in Iowa. His reply included that he didn't know if Iowa had a maximum security prison!!
I found that amazing and amusing. Why would you go on a national TV show that was going to ask you a question about detainees and NOT know if your state could even house them. Take your pick, buffoon or stupid. Ed kindly let it go.
To Harkin's credit, he did point out the absurdity of the NIMBY arguement. How can you be against someting that us already occuring. Carl Levin is on now, hopefully he'll know whether Michigan has a max security prison
