Pentagon Looking at Prisons in U.S. to Relocate Gitmo Prisoners 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter says the Pentagon is visiting
prisons in the United States where the agency could relocate men
currently being held at Guantánamo Bay. The Pentagon teams have already
visited the Army prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, and will soon visit the
naval brig at Charleston, South Carolina. Carter said Thursday he wants
to see Guantánamo closed before President Obama leaves office, calling
the naval base a "rallying cry for jihadi propaganda."
