Obama unveils plan to close Guantanamo Bay prison

President Obama presented his long-awaited plan to close the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility Tuesday, painting the controversial prison as a drain on military resources that is "contrary to our values."

"It has been clear that the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay does not advance our national security," Obama said of the prison he's sought to close since 2009. "It undermines it."

The Pentagon plan to transfer remaining detainees and shutter the prison could cost up to $475 million; though it outlines potential options for where detainees could be moved, no specific sites are named. Congress is expected to block the plan.
