Michigan GOP lawmakers don't want Gitmo prisoners

Michigan GOP lawmakers don't want Gitmo prisoners
"Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, criticized the administration for not publicizing the visit to Michigan, and said he only learned of it from news coverage.

“They haven’t been upfront at all on this,” said Hoeksta, a gubernatorial candidate in Michigan who has previously criticized the idea of housing Guantanamo detainees in his state. “We found out through the media they were going to Standish, Michigan,” he said in an interview with The Hill.

Hoekstra is requesting permission to lead a delegation of state and local officials to the Guantanamo Bay prison, which Obama hopes to close early in 2010."

Showin' some balls!
