Rep. Don Manzullo (R-IL) discusses the President's decision to move up to 210 al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to the Thomson Correctional Center in northwest Illinois. Manzullo told listeners to C-SPAN's Washington Journal program that he supports the use of the underutilized state facility as a state or federal prison, but has serious concerns about bringing the terrorists to the region. Manzullo said a threat assessment for the region should have been completed and shared with residents before making the decision to proceed.
