Somebody is wrong here,\u201d Graham shot back. \u201cIf you want to talk about what I\u2019ve said I\u2019ll respond to what you said. If we close Gitmo and move them to Colorado do you support indefinite detention?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m giving the facts,\u201d Durbin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe answer is no,\u201d Graham insisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to make sure it\u2019s clear that 31% you referred to goes back to the year 2009,\u201d Durbin pressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat does it matter what it goes back to? We had them, and they got loose and they started killing people,\u201d Graham objected. \u201cIf you are one of the people killed in 2005, does it matter to you when we released them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI suggest the president of your own party released them, and \u2014\u201d Durbin claimed, in spite of the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/09\/07\/four-taliban-members-swapped-for-bowe-bergdahl-now-in-afghan-government\/\">four of the five<\/a> Taliban fighters that Democratic President Barack Obama released \u2014 in <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/four-taliban-members-released-from-gitmo-in-trade-for-bowe-bergdahl-now-part-of-hardline-afghan-government\/\">exchange<\/a> for U.S. Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl \u2014 are now serving in the Taliban-controlled Afghan government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m suggesting the system has failed miserably and advocates to change the system like she was advocating would destroy our ability to protect this country. We\u2019re at war, we\u2019re not fighting a crime. This is not some passage of time event,\u201d Graham continued. \u201cAs long as they are dangerous, I hope they all die in jail if they\u2019re going to go back to kill Americans. It won\u2019t bother me one bit if 39 of them die in prison, that\u2019s a better outcome than letting them go. And if it costs $500 million to keep them in jail, keep them in jail, because they\u2019re going to go back to the fight. Look at the frickin\u2019 Afghan government, it\u2019s made up of former detainees at Gitmo. This whole thing by the left about this war ain\u2019t working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham stood up then, walking out of the hearing as Durbin continued to cite others who had defended the idea of allowing legal representation for Guantanamo detainees.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
