Rock Island Arsenal could gain from Thomson prison deal

 

If the Obama administration is successful at moving a limited number of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detainees to Thomson, Ill., the operation will be run, at least temporarily, out of the Rock Island Arsenal, congressional aides and an administration official said Thursday.

Rich Carter, a spokesman for Manzullo, said Thursday that administration officials briefed congressional staff earlier this week. And, Carter said, they were told the administrative offices overseeing the detainees at Thomson would be based at the Arsenal.
