Little progress on Guantanamo

Washington - The US administration has made little progress towards its avowed goal of closing the controversial Guantanamo Bay, Cuba detention centre for terror suspects, Defence Secretary Robert Gates said Friday.
Gates told a year-end Pentagon news conference that the government had run up against various legal issues in closing down the facility, as well as the question of what to do with the prisoners once freed.
"I would say that the honest answer is that because of some of these legal concerns - some of which are shared by both people - by both parties on Capitol Hill (Congress), there has not been much progress," he said.
