NV congressman says many captives are `happy to be there'

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Jon Porter returned from a one-day visit with positive reviews of the detention camp for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Porter, R-Nev., said the military-run camp compares favorably to Nevada prisons, and that many of the captives "are happy to be there," where they can get medical and dental care.

"I would only wish that my loved ones or anyone's loved ones could be treated as well if they were captured by (Osama) bin Laden," Porter said.

Porter took an escorted tour Monday along with four other U.S. House members including Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., chairman of the House Government Reform Committee. They received a classified briefing from the camp commander, Brig. Gen. Jay Hood, toured medical facilities and maximum security and moderate security sections of the base and witnessed two interrogations.
