The Pentagon on Thursday amid mounting criticism of Guantanamo prison invited more members of the U.S. Congress to visit the jail for foreign terrorism suspects and said remarks by some lawmakers showed "a real ignorance of what's really going on."
"We invite more members to go down to Guantanamo and see what's going on, because what's going on down there is not the way it's being described by certain members of Congress," chief Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita told a briefing.
"And the way they are describing it is unfortunate, and in some places I believe those people will regret having made those kind of comments," Di Rita added.
