“With all due respect to my esteemed colleague from Indiana as well, this amendment isn't about whether Gitmo stays open or Gitmo closes. This amendment is specifically about not allowing transfers of highly dangerous terrorists to the country of Yemen because Yemen has proved it is not capable of holding these terrorists. The job of this Congress and what we're talking about with this amendment is protecting the American people, which is what we're charged with. I would respectfully ask our body to approve and support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
