Appreciate the attention you have given. As i stated i would like to reiterate one continuing point regarding the detention facility. The president and the National Security committee have determined closing the detention facility is a security imperative. That is a strong term. The president in his leadership of the National Security team believe continued operation of the tension to detention facility weakens interNational Security. Closing guantanamos about protecting, not weakening. The importance of closing the detention facility is echoed by former president george w.

The administration has sent guantanamo terrorists to these countries anyway. Andeceive this committee the American People is deeply disturbing. When given the opportunity to correct the record for the committee, they ignored us. I appreciate that the administration finally responded on tuesday, but it should not take the calling of a hearing to elicit a return letter, especially on something as consequential as this. This committee has an obligation to conduct oversight. While we have differences of opinion over guantanamo policy, i do not read anyone here finds of the administrations business acceptable.
