President-elect Barack Obama is preparing to issue an executive order his first week in office -- and perhaps his first day -- to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, according to two presidential transition team advisers.
It's unlikely the detention facility at the Navy base in Cuba will be closed anytime soon. In an interview last weekend, Obama said it would be "a challenge" to close it even within the first 100 days of his administration.

I say close GITMO and let these yahoos go. Odds are they will wind up killing Europeans rather than Americans anyway. Not the ideal ending for these SOBs but not necessarily a bad solution either, especially if they start with the liberal wankers from Belgium & Denmark.
