WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Attorney General Eric Holder says he opposes a bill in Congress that would block the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to stand trial in the United States.
Holder wrote to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Thursday in opposition to language in the proposed 2011 Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, a Department of Justice release said.
