Obama set to Close Gitmo

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. - NBC News Story

The big challenge is going to be - what do you do with all of the terrorist that are being held there? Do you bring them onto American Soil and put them in one of our prisons? Doing so would definitely increase the Security Risk right here at home.
