Reps. Forbes, Cantor and Wolf are introducing a bill in the House asking that Guantanamo Bay prisoners not be transferred to Virginia’s military or federal prisons.
H.R. 1186, introduced by Forbes and co-sponsored by Wolf and Cantor, would prevent the use of funds to transfer those individuals detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to facilities in Virginia or to house such individuals at such facilities.
Given the fact that these facilities are used to house other prisoners too, this bill makes sense: Unless we’re calling these accused terrorists common criminals now.
