In a stunning statement, the Obama administration has admitted that it may release Guantanamo detainees into the continental U.S. According to a story in today's Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, made this statement,"European justice ministers met with Mr. Holder earlier this week and pressed for details on how many Guantanamo prisoners the U.S. planned to release domestically, as part of any agreement for allies to accept detainees. Mr. Holder said U.S. officials would work to respond to the questions European officials have over U.S. Guantanamo plans. For 'people who can be released there are a variety of options that we have and among them is the possibility is that we would release them into this country,' Mr. Holder said. 'That process is ongoing and we've not made any determinations or made any requests of anybody at this point.'"
