From Politico:

The second-ranking House Democrat signaled Tuesday that the White House is reconsidering a plan to move Guantanamo detainees to a prison in northwest Illinois.

One idea: Move them to the Alabama district of Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Parker Griffith, to alleviate the people’s suffering from the administration’s plans to ax the moon mission.
