Our gitmo detainees coming to America a new report commissioned by democratic senator Dianne Feinstein.

Says there are -- -- several prisons inside the US.

That could safely house detainees from Guantanamo Bay so should this really be a viable option joining us now is former departments justice officials say Christian Adams -- -- -- you sir.

Morning what is the biggest argument against this happening.

All of these are not ordinary prisoners and they don't belong an ordinary prisons.

I have sources who work in gitmo -- tell me that the rates of attacks on soldiers on the guards is absolutely astronomical.

And it's also disgusting.

These prisoners some of them -- grow their fingernails out and sharpen them in the points and save their feces.

And it and dip them in attacking guards when they come in to their cells.

These people are known to try to stab people's eyes out these are violent violent people that do not belong in the US prison system.

Well what happens -- they are brought to the US prison system what are your main main concerns.

Will look at what happened with the we yours the -- through these Chinese terrorist.

The and the administration tried to release them into Northern Virginia.

Before congressman Frank Wolf found out about and said you can do this.

I think the long term plan here is is to eventually integrate them into the regular prison population.

Where they can radicalize the other prisoners.

And eventually these people some in the administration wanted to just release them into the United States.

That being one of the biggest fears is that radicalize and others here's what senator Feinstein says about all of this this report.

Demonstrates that if the political will exists we could finally close Guantanamo.

Without imperiling our national security the GAO report makes clear that numerous prisons exist inside the United States capable of holding.

The 166.

Detainees remain at Guantanamo.

In an environment that meets the security requirements the GAO also found that.

US prisons already hold 373.

Prisoners convicted of terrorism.

That's here in the United States.

The political will is a whole other question that you brings up can -- ever get through the house.

Well it'll never get through the house but don't forget President Obama this week.

Promise to Vito.

The entire defense authorization bill that means everything soldier pay a bomber fuel tank maintenance.

He promised to -- everything.

Unless these prisoners are are allowed to be brought in the United States that's crazy priorities.

This administration in this Justice Department in particular.

Is on a crusade to implement this radical.

Normalization.

Of of terror behavior by putting them into the civil justice system.

It's because we have a Justice Department full of people who used to work for al-Qaeda terrorists and their lawyers now -- Eric holder's Justice Department.

Already were gonna wrap it up on that note it's we appreciate you being here this morning.

Thank you -- -- for joining us we'll -- -- up to date on this topic obviously I've come.
