Rep. Cleaver Defends Obama: He Believes Gitmo Detainees Won’t End up on the Battlefield

RUSH EXCERPT:
CLEAVER: "I think those — the detainees have been vetted. The president believes that these are not people that we’ll end up fighting again in Afghanistan or Iraq or even in Syria. You know, it’s one of those things where I had no prior knowledge about him doing it. And he probably has been planning this for some time. I’m just best things that could have happened would have been Republicans and democratic leaders genuinely and seriously working together to address things like Guantanamo Bay. I mean, we can’t just declare this side is evil and wrong and this side is right and royal. I mean, we’ve got to get to a point where we start working with each other. That’s one of the reasons I’m coming to the inauguration. Look, I’ve been getting all kinds of hate phone calls. They started about three days ago. People calling me names.”
