Graham Press Conference On Gitmo Detainees

you are up and on detention policy I would argue the administration's detention policy has

time we capture a terrorist if we don't kill them they've just been a handful we bring them into the civilian court system and read them their rights that's

got to stop now about Guantanamo bay it's not about the location of the jail I don't mind if we try to find a place to move it into

with people who robbed a liquor store but the terrorists and it wouldn't have a legal system that will allow some to be tried in military courts some

to be released when appropriate and yes some to be held on the law of war because if we let them back out into the system they will kill us twenty

eight percent recidivism rate law of war detention only make sense if you're under domestic criminal law you cannot hold want anyone

indefinitely under criminal law nor should you be allowed to but when you're at war and you capture a prisoner you can hold that prisoners longs or threat the

problem this war there'd be a war without end so we gotta find some long term detention review policies to deal with the law of war captures so

we can't kill our way to safety but when you're given the choices you made a poor choice and a rock and

are parts of the speech that I could again you cannot tear you away to Victor you have to help those who will be willing to live in peace with the but

about drones I have stood by this president causes a technology that makes sense their parts of this world that aren't governed and

we don't have any truth and our drone is the best way to protect us and our allies against radical Islamic terrorist I

would like it to be more transparent and if you want to send it over to DOD I warn object if you can prove to me were still going to use the technology to make a safe I

believe we're in a war that's not winding down when a war this morphing and thus the theme of the speech was

that this war is winding down I have relentlessly pursued the al queda leadership there

is no just gate justification beyond politics for Congress to prevent us from closing a facility that should never have been open the

is not a good justification because that is not true the enemy is morphing it is spreading their more theaters a conflict today than they've been in several years and
