Jobs go to Illinois -- not Michigan

The Obama administration is set to make a state prison in rural Thomson, Illinois the new home for a number of terrorism suspects now housed at Guantanamo Bay, despite GOP opposition. If all goes well, the administration anticipate a handover of the facility by late winter. The town, which is suffering from a 10.5 percent unemployment rate, may be a fan of the new facility; the White House suggests that as many as 3,000 jobs could be created in the area.
