WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert Gates has asked for an updated proposal for closing the controversial prison holding terrorist suspects in Cuba in case President-elect Barack Obama asks for one soon after taking office.
The Bush administration has studied the difficult issue before but couldn’t resolve questions such as where to put the Guantanamo Bay detainees and how to resolve their cases.
Gates is revisiting the issue because closing the prison is an Obama priority.
Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said Thursday that Gates requested the update so the Pentagon will be ready to deal with the issue, if asked, as soon as Obama takes office.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
