Obama signs order to
close Guantanamo in a year
WASHINGTON (AP) — President
Barack Obama issued sweeping orders
Thursday to rein in secretive U.S. counterterror policies and end harsh interrogations, prompting immediate skepticism
over how and whether they would work
to keep Americans safe.
Obama’s three executive orders, coming on Day Two of his presidency, sought to
show that the United States does not torture
and abides by domestic and international
laws governing the treatment of detainees.
“The message that we are sending the
world is that the United States intends to
prosecute the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism,” the president said.
“And we are going to do so vigilantly, and
we are going to do so e?ectively, and we
are going to do so in a manner that is consistent with our values and our ideals.”

Another review panel will have
180 days to study whether interrogation techniques allowed under the U.S.
Army Field Manual would be e?ective
in extracting lifesaving intelligence from
hardened terrorists.
Navi Pillay, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, also called for
a thorough investigation into allegations
of torture at Guantanamo and said detainees who were innocent or arbitrarily
detained should be adequately compensated “for the six or seven years of their
lives that have been lost.”
As for closing Guantanamo, the American public is split. About half want the
prison shuttered on a priority basis, and
42 percent do not. And it’s split along party lines. Two-thirds of Democrats want it
done on a priority basis, compared with
just a quarter of Republicans.
