WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would consider sending Sayfullo Saipov, the suspect in Tuesday’s terrorist attack in New York City, to the notorious U.S. military detention facility in Guantanamo Bay. McCain also made a comment referencing the terrible track record of the military commissions system in Guantanamo. Sending Saipov to Guantanamo would almost certainly delay justice for the victim’s families for years. Despite Guantanamo’s poor track record, Trump raised idea of trying U.S. citizens at Guantanamo when he was on the campaign trail. Of prosecuting suspected terrorists, Trump said: “We’re going to have to do things that are unthinkable.”Igor Bobic contributed reporting.
