Vern Buchanan Warns About Obama Closing Gitmo

With reports emerging that President Barack Obama wants to close the terrorist detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by using executive power, a prominent Republican congressman from the Sunshine State is pushing back.

Why is the White House even discussing this as we battle a brutal enemy that has beheaded two Americans? asked U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., the only member of the Florida delegation to sit on the Ways and Means Committee. Bringing dangerous terrorists into the U.S. makes no sense and sends the wrong message to our enemies and allies.

Guantanamo currently houses almost 150 prisoners.
