Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in Cuba this morning to tour the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Holder arrived with about a half-dozen key aides to speak with military officers about the case histories of specific detainees, along with charges that were pending prior to President Obama suspending military commissions. This suspension is a part of the review of U.S. policy toward terror suspects being detained at Guantanamo Bay.
Holder is also scheduled to tour the courtroom complex where the now suspended military commissions usually take place.
As Holder arrived in Cuba, the first Guantanamo detainee to be transferred from the prison arrived in England. Bunyam Mohammed, is the first detainee to be transferred after Obama ordered the review off all the sites detainees.
Holder will return to Washington tonight.
