WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder is headed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, next week to examine the detention facility.

President Barack Obama has given Holder the job of leading the administration's effort to shut down the site within a year.

Holder has told reporters he will travel on Monday to the military base to see things firsthand. He said he wants to talk to officials there about detention and interrogation techniques.

He wants to ask the officials about the horrible torture there.

There is not much more of this article at the link, but look at it anyway.

It's from Google but is excerpted because it is a AP blurb.

Attorney General Eric Holder is headed to Guantanamo Bay,

if the sentence had continued "as the latest detainee in the war on terror and terrorist sympathizers", it would have brought a smile to my face.

Guantanamo Review in Full Swing: Attorney General to Visit Facility Next Week

February 18, 2009 1:08 PM

Ap_guantanamo_bay_090127_main ABC News' Jason Ryan Reports: After his speech today on race relations in America commemorating Black History Month, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Monday he and the Acting head of the Justice Department's National Security Division, Matthew Olsen, will be going to Guantanamo Bay next week.

"Matt will be going with me to Guantanamo next Monday we need to have our feet on the ground to really see what is really going on at that facility to see how people are being detained to talk to people down there about the interrogation techniques being used." Holder said.

As part of President Obama's executive order to eventually close the facility, Holder has been tasked to chair the committee of Cabinet-level officials to implement the closure of the controversial detention facility. Holder will be coordinating the review with the Secretaries of Defense and State and Department of Homeland Security, as well as the Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"I think that will be an important first step as we try to resolve...the issues the President has put before me as the chairman of the [Review] Committee." Holder said to reporters on Wednesday.

Elian Gonzalez is in Cuba, probably suffering from malnutrition like the rest of the island inmates, on the order of Eric Holder.

Yet he weeps for the islamodirtbags at Gitmo.

When MAF went to Gitmo last year, one of the innocent mistreated terrorist looks at Executive Director Catherine Moy and pulled his finger across his neck while grinning at her.

The international symbol for "if I could get close to you I would slit your throat."

Present Obama wants him released.

Being captured in a war zone with a group of terrorists killing Americans and Iraqis doesn't mean he is a danger to society.

Before he leaves, I’ll wager that our Soldiers will be in the cages, and our enemies will be gaurding them...
