Sen. James Webb, an influential Democratic voice on national security issues, raised questions over the Obama administration’s plan to shut down the controversial military- detention center at Guantanamo Bay by early next year.
The Virginia senator, who sits on the Senate’s Armed Services Committee, told ABC News’s “This Week” on Sunday that the White House shouldn’t “be creating artificial timelines” to close down the facility in Cuba.
“We should close down Guantanamo at the right time,” he said. “I think what’s happened is Guantanamo has become the issue, rather than how we process these people who were detained there.”
