Republican Leader Boehner to discuss Guantanamo with President Obama

Posted by Staff on January 22, 2009 |

John Boehner, House Minority Leader, said he will be meeting with President Barack Obama soon to discuss the closing of Guantanamo Bay. He expressed concern over what happens with the detainees after the Detention Center is closed. The Minority Leader said he doesn’t think American citizens would want the detainees relocated to the US. Mr. Boehner said that the country should have a clear plan as to what to do with the detainees before closing it, a concern he said he raised with the Administration. Boehner said he made no attempt to delay the Executive Order, which President Barack Obama signed today.
