A five-hour trip to Guantanamo Bay this week left Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-Calif., with a brief sense of déjà vu.
The physical aspect of one detainment facility reminded him of the Stanislaus County Jail. Another, Cardoza said Tuesday, reminded him of the Merced County Jail.
The resemblance ends there.
Joined by a conservative U.S. senator and four members of the European Parliament, Cardoza on Monday zipped through the military detention facilities that have incited worldwide controversy. A member of the House International Relations Committee, Cardoza said he was impressed even if lingering legal questions remain unanswered.
"I was fully prepared to be critical," Cardoza said, "but I have different observations than I thought I probably would have."
