The U.S. Senate voted 90-6 on May 20 to block the transfer of detainees held at the detention center on Guantanamo Bay Naval Station, Cuba, to facilities in the U.S., and to withhold $80 million in funds sought by the Obama administration for closure of the facility. The vote follows a similar course of action taken earlier the same week by the House of Representatives. Lawmakers criticized the administration’s plan as lacking in details, and generally do not embrace the idea of having accused terrorists held in their states. "Americans don’t want some of the most dangerous men alive coming here or released overseas where they can return to fight, as many other detainees who have been released from Guantanamo already have," Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, told the Voice of America. Meanwhile, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on May 24 that he believes the Guantanamo facility should be closed. "We’re working hard now to figure out what the options are and what the best one would be," Mullen said during an appearance on ABC-TV’s "This Week" program, "and that really is a decision the president is going to have to make."
