agrees guantanamo should ultimately be closed. but he says there are many reasons why that can't be done immediately. congress has placed wide-ranging restrictions transferring gitmo detainees to the u.s. or other foreign countries. legal proceedings have been moving forward slowly for some of the remaining 164 detainees. a large number have been cleared for release or transfer, but in some cases their home countries don't want them back. in other cases, the u.s. says it fears for their safety upon their return. above all, mccausland says, the u.s. has an obligation to ensure that the detainees do not pose a threat. >> even if they appeared in front of a military commission, that process continued and they were found not guilty of the criminal act, they could still frankly be retained indefinitely because they are an enemy combatant. if we released them all tomorrow because we've held them now for a long period of time, how many of them would immediately go back to the fight? >> we need to understand what detention centers of that
