Unfortunately, there have been Americans that have died because of GITMO detainees.

When anybody dies it's a tragedy. We don't want anybody to die because we transfer detainees, however, it's the best judgment and the considered judgment of this administration and the previous administration that ... we should close Gitmo.

I'd love to see a broadcast from Antarctica. I think that's the only country or territory we have not covered.

We take our obligation to assess the security risk of detainees seriously prior to transfers. As a result, more than 90 percent of detainees transferred during the Obama administration live quietly around the world, each of these five individuals was unanimously approved for transfer more nearly five years ago by six departments and agencies through the 2009 executive order task force.
