CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina Attorney General Henry
McMaster is touring a Navy brig that could one day hold Guantanamo
Bay detainees.
Spokesman Trey Walker says the Republican gubernatorial
candidate requested the Monday meeting in Charleston to discuss how
brig officials have handled the enemy combatants that have been
housed there in years past.
The Obama administration has not said which states will get
detainees when the Guantanamo Bay facility is closed.
South Carolina's U.S. senators differ on whether detainees
should be sent to North Charleston's Navy brig. But Republicans
Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint say they will work together to keep
the accused terrorists out of federal courts.
