Obama has promised to order the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detainee camp within days of taking office. About 250 inmates remain jailed there. Bureaucracy will slow the closing process, so the prison will likely remain open for a few months anyway. Soldiers stationed there watched Obama take the oath of office. The picture of former President George Bush was replaced with the new commander in chief – the one who will send them home.
