Congressman Allen West (FL-22) will travel with a Congressional Delegation to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base Monday, March 7th to tour the detention facility and meet with the soldiers, sailors and Marines who are stationed there. This will be Congressman West’s first trip to Guantanamo Bay.

“As a Member of the House Armed Services Committee, and as a 22-year combat veteran, I look forward to visiting the brave men and women who serve at Guantanamo Bay and seeing firsthand the mission-critical work they are doing to keep our country safe from a terrorist attack, ” West said. “Guantanamo Bay serves a crucial role in our national security and I am confident that my visit will reaffirm my belief in its importance.”

I have a feeling this may be an error. After all, didn’t President Obama close GITMO within a year of taking office like he promised?
