Obama: shut down Guantanamo Bay Prison before July 2009?

Obama has vowed to close Guantanamo and reject the Military Commissions Act, the 2006 law underpinning the ongoing Guantanamo tribunals. But major hurdles stand in the way of doing so, even for a new President with a clear mandate.

Few attorneys better understand the legal dilemmas surrounding the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, than Neal Katyal. In 2006, Katyal led a successful Supreme Court case challenging the legality of the prison, a ruling that sounded one of the first death knells for Camp X-Ray. But two years later, difficult questions about how to close Guantanamo continue to vex legal minds ranging from Katyal to the advisers now gathering around President-elect Barack Obama. "This is a huge and difficult problem," says Katyal, who teaches national-security law at Georgetown University. "I don't actually see obvious answers."

Will the prison be shut down by July 2009?

    I am leaning toward yes but it wouldn't be the first lie told by a candidate for office if he did not shut it down.
