VIDEO: GOP uses 9/11 footage in detainees battle
House Republicans released a new video today showing footage of 9/11 and attacking President Obama’s decision to close Guantanamo Bay.
The video is part of a Republican offensive against the prospect of transferring or releasing Guantanamo detainees into the United States.
Yesterday, Republicans introduced the Keep Terrorists Out of America Act, which would require consent of the governor and legislature of a state before detainees could be transferred there. It would also require the administration to certify that the detainees would not threaten U.S. safety.
Attorney General Eric Holder said yesterday that no one considered a terrorist would be released into the United States.
