WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration began internal discussions this week over where to put Guantanamo Bay detainees if they are not tried or sent to other nations, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Thursday.
Gates got a hostile reception from several lawmakers over sending any high-security Guantanamo detainees to the U.S. mainland and the defense chief said he anticipated strong opposition to such a move.
"I fully expect to have 535 pieces of legislation before this is over saying: 'Not in my district. Not in my state.' And we'll just have to deal with that when the time comes," Gates told the Senate Appropriations Committee.
I'm thinking tent city like that sheriff out west. Right on the lawn of the white house.
