Explaining that detainees at Guantánamo Bay are "enemies of this nation" and should not be entitled to habeas corpus, the former Tennessee senator expressed distaste for "one the fellows running for the GOP nomination saying that we should shut down Guantánamo and bring those prisoners over here."
"I don't know if he realizes this or not, when they touch American soil, they're gonna get rights they would otherwise not have," Thompson said.

My administration will recognize that the United States' main fight today does not pit us against the world but pits the world against the terrorists."
