A Pentagon proposal to close the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, refers to 13 unspecific prison sites in the US where the government could transfer as many as 60 detainees at a cost of up to $475 million.
“Implementing this plan will enhance our national security by denying terrorists a powerful propaganda symbol, strengthening relationships with key allies and counter-terrorism partners, and reducing costs,” said Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook in a statement.
