"When it comes to Guantanamo, the new Administration needs to show it's more concerned with safety than symbolism." -- Republican Leader Mitch McConnell:
A month ago I asked where will Obama put the terrorists. The president still doesn't have an answer. But, speaking at CPAC, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested an answer for Obama:
Many of those still detained are serious threats to the safety of our citizens. In fact, several of these terrorists still proudly proclaim their desire to kill more Americans.
The new Attorney General visited Guantanamo earlier this week and he returned with a glowing report. He said it was well-run, that he was impressed with the people in charge, and that every single person there has to be moved out and Guantanamo shut down in less than a year.
The Obama Administration needs to answer a very simple question: Where exactly do they expect to send these guys? They don't have an answer to that question. But I do: they ought to be right there in the jail in Guantanamo.
