John McHugh Is the Latest GTMO Detainee
The Senate Armed Services Committee may have approved Rep. John McHugh’s (R-N.Y.) bid to become Army secretary last week, but CQ reports that Kansas’ two Republican senators, Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback, are putting a hold on McHugh until the Obama administration clarifies whether it plans to move Guantanamo detainees to their state’s Leavenworth prison. Chris Bodenner calls it “grandstanding.” Roberts hinted he was going to engage in all kinds of attention-grabbing maneuvers over Guantanamo last week on a conference call.
