Gov’t Report: All Gitmo Prisoners Could Be Safely Moved to U.S. Prisons 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A new government report has found all 166 prisoners currently jailed in
the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, could be relocated to prisons
inside the United States without posing a safety threat. The study from
the Government Accountability Office noted the United States already
holds hundreds of prisoners convicted of terrorism inside its borders.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein said: "This report
demonstrates that if the political will exists, we could finally close
Guantánamo without imperiling our national security."
