In a statement from his office, Ellison says he’s concerned about holding detainees without charging them. He’s also concerned about the living conditions at the facility, and hopes to meet with some of the detainees.
Ellison says he believes some of the detainees are hardened terrorists. But he’s also convinced that some have been swept up in what he calls the “hysteria” following the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
