WASHINGTON, CMC – After visiting the controversial Guantánamo detention center in Cuba, a top United States official and two legislators have called for its immediate closure.
“We continue to believe that it is in our national interest to end detention at Guantánamo, with a safe and orderly transition of the detainees to other locations,” said US President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, and Senators Dianne Feinstein and John McCain in a brief, joint statement issued here.
“We intend to work, with a plan by Congress and the Administration together, to take the steps necessary to make that happen,” they added.
