Senate OKs Transfer of Gitmo Prisoners to US

The Senate has voted to authorize the transfer of Guantanamo Bay prisoners for prosecution inside the United States. On Tuesday, senators OKed the proposal as part of a $44 billion Homeland Security budget bill. The measure also backs the Obama administrations refusal to release photos of prisoner abuse, saying the photos can be kept under wraps for three years. The House has already passed its version of the bill, which now goes to President Obama for his signature.
