The U.S. Department of Defense is sending a team to military installations in Kansas and South Carolina to investigate the possibility of relocating some Guantanamo Bay prisoners to U.S. soil, media outlets reported on Saturday.
Fox News and CNN said the Pentagon on Friday notified the U.S. Congress that the team was already visiting the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and would then survey the naval brig at Charleston, South Carolina, in the coming weeks.
Republicans, who control Congress, swiftly condemned the idea of moving detainees into the United States and close to major military posts, according to Fox News.
President Barack Obama pledged at his inauguration in 2009 that he would close the detention facility at the Guantanamo naval base and his administration is racing to make good on the promise before he leaves office. Recently, it secured commitments from a dozen countries to accept nearly half of the 52 Guantanamo prisoners already cleared for transfer.

Of course, that was the plan all along.
Obama is about to give Gitmo to Cuba, isn’t he?
Obama releasing terrorists in America.
He can’t wait to do so.
Obama is also anxiously awaiting full development of Iranian ICBMs and nukes. His pants get wet just thinking of a massed Iranian nuclear attack on the US.
relocating some Guantanamo Bay prisoners to U.S. soil,.............................. How about in a cage on the launch pads of the missile test centers?
The second they cross into our territory they are protected by our laws.
Not only will they be released, it will cost us millions.
He would love to poke a stick in the eye of Republican Kansas. In Leavenworth, or any other location, the big problem will not be the honored guests, but their relatives, comrade jihadists, and other assorted terrorists, Democrat activists, and wacko lawyers. They will infest our fair city.
"Death to America!"
That’s one way of getting terrorists onto military bases.
There is an abandoned Navy base that would be perfect for this.
Adak Navy base. Kinda like GITMO, only a whole lot colder.....
The way I see it. I think Obama will close Gitmo, pay Raul all the hundreds of millions he says we owe him, then Cuba will let Russia and Iran have a new naval base right off our coast.
