White House Says Guantánamo Prison Camp to Remain Open During Current Administration
WASHINGTON , 26 March, 2007.- A White House spokesman says that the Guantánamo military prison in Cuba will most likely remain open beyond the end of President Bush's term.
Though Bush has intimated that he might be willing to shut down the infamous facility, White House spokesman Tony Snow said Friday that conducting military commissions for the most-dangerous remaining detainees and resolving where to put others will take time.
Snow admitted that Defense Secretary Robert Gates, shortly after taking office last year, had argued for shutting down the prison quickly. But, Snow noted that Gates raised his concerns with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and deferred to his arguments for keeping Guantánamo open. (Cubaminrex- RHC)
