WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Robert Gates said
on Thursday Congress should look for ways to close the U.S.
military prison at Guantanamo Bay, but said any solution must
ensure some detainees would remain incarcerated for life.
"Is there a way statutorily to address the concerns about some
of these people who really need to be incarcerated forever
but that doesn't get them involved in a judicial system where
there is the potential of them being released, frankly?" Gates
said at a congressional hearing.

attack the United States again if released.
If the United States moves the detainees to some other location,
the federal government must ensure the prisoners cannot find a
legal avenue to freedom.
