Republicans Reiterate, Democrats Dismiss Guantanamo Importance

Representative Peter Hoekstra (R-MI): "The Obama Administration has avoided all transparency on the Gitmo issue with Congress, so Congress should avoid giving the administration any wiggle room to slip terrorist detainees into the United States."

Representative Jerry Lewis (R-CA): "Terrorists should not be treated like common criminals in federal court. These detainees are enemies of the state, and should be treated as such by being held and brought to justice right where they are -- in Guantanamo Bay."

Representative Baron Hill (D-IN): "I haven't had one person ask me about Guantanamo."

Representative Dan Maffai (D-NY): "It's a non-issue. Inside the beltway stuff. People care about jobs, the economy, health care."
