What worries me is, as we sit here, ... there seems to be no plan for that.

Do you agree that the facility is lawful and humane?

If any of these detainees have been--are suspected or confirmed for having been involved in killing us, our NATO allies, or a coalition servicemember, I--I'm actually surprised you don't know the answer to that.

I think the American people deserve to know whether any of the Taliban five have reengaged.

I think this is something that is atrocious, that one of our men and women in uniform, or any of our allies or anyone working with us, should ever be forced--when we had someone captured as a prisoner of war, we had them taken from the…

I would say, far too insufficient of a time, because you had them on ships because this administration is so adverse to putting anyone in Guantanamo.

Fazul's return is like pouring 10,000 Taliban fighters into the battle on the side of the jihad.

If we get Ayman al-Zawahiri tomorrow, the head of al-Qaeda, or al-Baghdadi, the head of ISIS, where--what will we do with them?

Once they go into an Article 3 court, they're entitled to Miranda...

I think that we deserve to know, from the administration when they release someone, are they just releasing them back...

can a member of al Qaeda or the Taliban play a significant role in terrorist planning and leadership without being in the respective country?

have any of the other 28 detainees (not including the Taliban 5) transferred in 2014 or 2015 reengaged in terrorism?

I think the American people have a right to know----

I do not understand why the American people can't be told a basic question.

What are we going to do with this person? Would we--we hope for the best, but we plan for the worst.

I think that is good for the State of Nevada. We would bring more people in to portions of our State, and I think it is a core function of this government.
