GUANTANAMO BAY

Broken deadline not a surprise at Guantánamo

 

A guard wearing a protective face mask talks to a detainee on May 31, 2009 as another paces inside the exercise yard at Camp Five in this image reviewed by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. President Barack Obama is confirming what many have long suspected: He'll miss his January deadline to close Guantanamo. Persuading other nations to take detainees has proven tough, and lawyers and human rights groups say Washington is most to blame because it also refuses to accept prisoners on U.S. soil.

No reinforcements, and no surprise at Guantánamo, as word spread that President Barack Obama confirmed the White House will miss its closure deadline.
