Two distressing pieces of news emerged last week regarding the Obama administration�s plans to close Guant�namo, and both were delivered by Defense Secretary Robert Gates in testimony to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
�
Discussing what would happen to the remaining 241 prisoners, Gates announced that the question was �still open� as to what the government should do with �the 50 to 100 � probably in that ballpark � who we cannot release and cannot try.� He also announced that the much-criticized military commission trial system, suspended for four months by Barack Obama on his first day in office, was �still very much on the table.�
