Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) railed against President Barack Obama’s efforts to transfer prisoners out of the Guantanamo Bay detention center Thursday, saying that the U.S. should hold more people at the facility, The Huffington Post reported.
Cotton was speaking during a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“In my opinion, the only problem with Guantanamo Bay is there are too many empty beds and cells there right now,” Cotton said. “We should be sending more terrorists there for further interrogation to keep this country safe.”
Cotton, an Iraq War veteran, accused the White House of neglecting security concerns in favor of political ones.

GItmo is not as empty as this newby Senator’s head!
Since we’re getting along better with Cuba now, let’s turn it into a luxury hotel and vacation destination!
Problem solved, you moron.
We could use the space for traitorous Republicans doing the bidding of a foreign power via AIPAC.
Room for George, Dick and Don?
Why is nobody in the Dems smart and mean enough to do things like stand up and demand he give us his list of who should be there and how they should be “interrogated” and then mercilessly berate the guy to hand it over for the next couple weeks? Pussies and sea cucumbers.
