HOPE AND CHANGE SAME: No Guantanamo Closure Any Time Soon. “The White House has faltered in part because of the legal, political and diplomatic complexities involved in determining what to do with more than 200 terrorism suspects at the prison. But senior advisers privately acknowledge not devising a concrete plan for where to move the detainees and mishandling Congress.”

UPDATE: Rubbing it in: “Well now we’re back to square one. It seems that, yes, it isn’t so easy to close Guantanamo. Just like the Bush team said.”
