WASHINGTON — CIA Director Leon Panetta told Congress on Wednesday that if Osama bin Laden or his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri is captured, he will be held by the military and probably will be sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It was the first time any senior administration official has outlined a detention plan for al-Qaeda’s top leadership.
Panetta’s statement was some indication that the administration is contemplating the future use of the military detention center in Cuba even though it says it is still committed to closing the facility.
