As we are all aware here today, GTMO holds some of the world's most
dangerous and heinous terrorists, individuals who are responsible for
and are ideologically committed to killing Americans at home and
abroad. They are responsible for killing our men and women in uniform. Transferring these terrorists to the United States, where
constitutional protections and immigration law may apply, puts our
national security at risk and hinders our intelligence-gathering
ability. Today, we remain in a war against al-Qaida and all associated forces. It is the responsibility of Congress to do everything in our power to
provide the resources and authorities to win that war, and transferring
Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States undermines these efforts.
