Morning Update: Closing Guantanamo
President-elect Barack Obama says it “is more difficult than I think a lot of people realize” to close the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He told ABC News in an interview Sunday he was committed to closing the center but it would take time and must be done “in a way that doesn’t result in releasing people who are intent on blowing us up.”
MEXICO: In a statement, Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s office said he would press Obama on “better conditions for Mexicans in the United States, based on respect for their rights” when they meet on Monday.
