I guess the Senate wants to know what the White House is going to do with those detainees before they sign off on the money.
In a major rebuke to President Barack Obama, the Senate voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to block the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the United States and denied the administration the millions it sought to close the prison.
In other words the Senators would rather not have to explain to their constituents why they suddenly got a whole new batch of Al-Quida neighbors staying at the maximum security facility down the road. Closing Gitmo is harder then just writing up an executive order and hoping for the best.
