I have subscribed to get emails from the DoD for many years. Part of what they send you is transcripts of press conferences. The news doesn't always (ok rarely) get into much detail about these. Long gone are the live feeds of the briefings.
So it is always worth at least a quick read, and this one last week is full of pretty good info.
DefenseLink News Transcript: DoD News Briefing with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Michael Mullen
Here's a line about Gitmo closing and what to to with those there I thought was kind of funny:
Gates: "We have identified a number of possible prisons here in the United States. I've heard from members of Congress where all of those prisons are located. Their enthusiasm is limited."
If they move those guys to a federal prison in the US I wonder if it would be worse for them than what they experienced @ Gitmo. I think it just might be. Careful what you wish for and all that.
