Closing Gitmo will be among Obama’s first official actions.

The Associated Press reports that advisers to President-elect Obama “say one of his first duties in office will be to order the closing of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay. That executive order is expected during Obama’s first week on the job — and possibly on his first day, according to two transition team advisers.” The order would fulfill one of Obama’s key campaign promises in an effort to, as Obama recently explained, “regain America’s moral stature in the world.” Obama raised doubts about his intentions yesterday when he suggested that the closure might not happen in his first 100 days.
