A political battle has erupted over what to do with the Guantanamo Bay detainees, with Obama's opponents in Congress arguing that those who cannot be transferred safely to other countries shouldn't be housed in U.S. prisons.
A Pentagon plan to close down the Guantanamo Bay detention center lists seven prisons in the U.S. — including a Colorado penitentiary — as suitable sites to house the terror suspects, according to a new report.

The proposal is seen as the Obama administration's last-gasp attempt to fulfill his original campaign promise to shutter the controversial detention facility.

A political battle has erupted over what to do with the detainees, with Obama's opponents in Congress arguing that those who cannot be transferred safely to other countries shouldn't be housed in U.S. prisons.

The 11th-hour plan makes no recommendations on which of the seven sites is preferred, administration officials told The Associated Press.

But it does list advantages and disadvantages of the prison sites in Colorado, South Carolina and Kansas that a Pentagon team has reviewed in recent months.

Officials said the advantages could outweigh the disadvantages at the Centennial Correctional Facility in Canon City, Colo.

But no conclusions have been reached, according to the AP report.

Obama is facing long odds in his bid to empty the Cuba-based detention center.

Congress would have to approve any decision to transfer detainees to a U.S. facility — and several lawmakers strongly resist the idea.

Just last week, a Colorado senator vowed to fight any effort to relocate detainees to his state.

"I will not sit idly by while the President uses political promises to imperil the people of Colorado by moving enemy combatants from Cuba, Guantanamo Bay, to my state of Colorado," Republican Sen. Cory Gardner said at a news conference.

Guantanamo now holds 112 detainees — 53 of whom are eligible for transfer.

Of the rest, some are facing trial by military commission. The others are not facing charges but have been deemed too dangerous to release.
