WASHINGTON, June 9 (UPI) -- Amidst questions regarding the negotiated release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the State Department reiterated Monday that the administration remains committed to closing Guantanamo Bay "responsibly."
Deputy spokesperson Marie Harf explained that the administration's resolve to close the controversial prison was made "not just because it's the right thing to do... but because it hurts our national security every day that that prison is open."
