John Delaney’s GITMO dream about to become reality

John Delaney’s dangerous GITMO dream is about to come true. President Obama told reporters in Laos that he still hopes to close GITMO and transfer the remaining terrorists held there to facilities on U.S. soil. Obama’s announcement confirms Vice President Biden’s statement in Europe last month that the administration expects to close GITMO by January.

Delaney voted at least 8 times to close the prison and relocate its detainees onto American soil. The prisoners remaining at GITMO include some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists, including 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, al-Qaeda bomb makers, and Osama bin Laden’s personal bodyguard.

NRCC Comment: “Instead of fighting to keep dangerous terrorists out of the U.S., John Delaney has stood by the president’s reckless plan to close GITMO. John Delaney’s support for actions that could bring some of the most dangerous terrorists in the world onto American soil makes Maryland, our country, and the world less safe.” – NRCC Spokesperson Camille Gallo
