“I would just, again, urge my colleagues to support this amendment. I understand the point raised by my colleague, and I think there are some valid points that ought to be discussed; but I think the bottom line here is the folks who are left at Guantanamo are the worst of the worst. These are some of the most violent, dangerous criminals in the world, and this President has shown that he is willing to transfer them to other places where the risk of them escaping back to the battlefield is very high. So I believe we can't risk that. I think the American people are counting on us to put their interests first. So I will close by urging my colleagues to please support this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.”
