Fox News using Eric Rudolph as a reason not to house detaineees at Supermax
There seems to be no level low enough for Fox to stoop to.


The domestic terrorist known as the Olympic Park Bomber says the U.S. government should think twice about transferring Guantanamo Bay detainees to the federal Supermax prison in Colorado, which holds some of America's most notorious criminals.

Eric Robert Rudolph, who is serving a life sentence for a series of bombings that killed two people and wounded scores of others, exclusively told FOX News in a letter dated June 30 that he doubts the Guantanamo detainees will become his fellow inmates at the Supermax prison in Florence, Colo., about 90 miles south of Denver.

"They do not want the detainees' high powered lawyers focusing their ire on Supermax," Rudolph wrote to FOX News. "Washington built a nice little black hole where they throw their unmentionables and they do not want a bunch of New York lawyers shining any light in here."

Among Supermax's notorious inmates are Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui; "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski; Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols; 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef; and Robert Hanssen, a former FBI agent serving life for espionage.
