Skelton warns putting Gitmo detainees in Leavenworth may upset Muslims
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Aug. 10, 2009) — House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-Mo.) sent a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressing serious concerns regarding the consideration of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as a potential site for detainees transferred from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Skelton, a long-time advocate for Professional Military Education, raised concerns that a number of Muslim countries would stop sending students to the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth if Guantanamo detainees were transferred there. Skelton also noted that the United States Code precludes the proximate detention of American and foreign individuals, so any plan to transfer detainees to Fort Leavenworth would require additional spending on military construction and enhanced security to comply with the law. Skelton’s letter to Secretary Gates is attached. Click here to read more on Pulaski County Daily News ...
