In their back yards?

"Kansas' two U.S. senators are blocking 10 of President Barack Obama's nominees for senior administration posts at the Pentagon and Justice Department in protest over a proposal to house Guantanamo detainees at the Fort Leavenworth prison [in Kansas]."

I'll say it again - - transfer the Guantanamo inmates to the states and districts of the Congress members who support Guantanamo's closure. That shouldn't be a problem for anyone, unless the terrorists in Guantanamo really aren't docile and safe, and unless the administration is using the reassignments to punish political opponents.
