Guantanamo detainee move blocked The US Senate has overwhelmingly rejected plans to transfer detainees out of Guantanamo Bay, and refused funding to close down the prison camp. Senators voted by 90-6 to block the transfer of 240 inmates, also stalling a request for $80m (£51m). Correspondents say it is a rebuke to President Barack Obama's plans to close down the camp by January 2010. Meanwhile, FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress detainees could support terror in the US if allowed to go free. cmc audio rca wbt audio rca cmc rca plugs wbt rca plugs cmc rca jacks wbt rca jacks cmc tube sockets wbt tube sockets "The concerns we have about individuals who may support terrorism being in the United States run from concerns about providing financing to terrorists, [and] radicalising others," Mr Mueller told a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee. Separately, a federal judge said the US can continue to hold some prisoners at Guantanamo indefinitely without any charges. cmc binding posts wbt binding posts cmc banana & spades wbt banana & spades cmc loudspeaker wbt loudspeaker Constituency concern The Senate decision to block a war funding bill meant for the camp followed a similar decision by the House of Representatives. Democrats and Republicans each argue that there needs to be a better plan for closing Guantanamo, situated on US territory on the island of Cuba. cmc audio rca wbt audio rca cmc rca plugs wbt rca plugs cmc rca jacks wbt rca jacks The detention centre, established by former President George W Bush after the 9/11 attacks, still holds 240 terrorist suspects. President Barack Obama has said he wants the camp closed by January 2010 and administration officials insist that deadline will be met. ロレックスレプリカ カルティエコピー ロレックスコピー グッチコピー パネライコピー But many legislators say they need further convincing of White House plans to move many of the detainees onto the US mainland. "The American people don't want these men walking the streets of America's neighbourhoods," Republican Senator John Thune said. "The American people don't want these detainees held at a military base or federal prison in their backyard, either." ロレックス時計 カルティエ時計 IWC時計 グッチ時計 オメガ時計 パネライ時計 The Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, said the White House needed a credible plan for how to close the base. "Once it has one, we'll consider closing Guantanamo, but not a second sooner," he said. Democratic leaders say they will reconsider providing the requested funds, once the White House has drawn up more detailed plans. Most Democrats support his commitment to close Guantanamo Bay, but realise that agreeing to fund an ill-prepared process would provide fodder for the Republican opposition, says the BBC's James Coomarasamy in Washington.
