Really?
Republicans in the House have lost a bid to block the transfer of any detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay prison to the United States.Democrats pushed hard for the win. Just remember that if this blows up in their faces.
Instead, the House stood by a Democratic plan to allow suspected enemy combatants held at Guantanamo to be shipped to U.S. soil only to be prosecuted for their suspected crimes. President Barack Obama has ordered the facility closed in January but has yet to offer a plan to accomplish that.
Democratic leaders had to push hard for the win because many lawmakers see political danger in voting to move detainees from Guantanamo. The Republican plan failed on a 193-224 vote.
Peter King calls this “is a time bomb waiting to happen.”
