Today, John Boehner and the Republican House leadership are introducing legislation to keep Guantanamo detainees from being transferred to facilities in the United States. They claim that this serves American security. But the reality is that our criminal justice system has a long history of holding hardened terrorists successfully, including the perpetrator of the first World Trade Center attacks, numerous 9/11 conspirators, the Shoe Bomber and Timothy McVeigh. But John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and other Republicans in Congress continue to claim that the men and women who run our prisons and help keep America safe can’t do their jobs.

On his first day in office, President-elect Obama will announce that
his administration will close the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay.
His announcement represents a clear repudiation of President Bush’s
approach to detention policies that have failed to bring terrorists to
justice and have damaged the credibility of our justice system and our
democracy in the eyes of the world.
