Sen. Webb: Closing Gitmo by Jan. 1 Is Unreasonable
The Weekly Standard: "Sen. Webb: Closing Gitmo by Jan. 1 Is Unreasonable
On ABC's This Week (video here. ) Sen. Jim Webb said no Gitmo detainees, including the Uighurs, should be brought to the United States:
SENATOR JIM WEBB
The situation with the Chinese Uighurs that you're talking about, on the one hand it can be argued that they were simply conducting dissident activities against the government of China. On the other, they accepted training from al Qaeda, and as a result, they have taken part in terrorism. I don't believe they should come to the United States."
