During his tour of Asia this week, President Barack Obama admitted that the January 2010 deadline for closing Guantanamo Bay will not be met. The deadline was set only two days after inauguration. Obama "knew this was going to be hard;" officials are still working out plans on what to do with many of the prisoners. It is especially hard to find a solution for those prisoners too dangerous to be held and tried in the United States. For others, investigators have cleared them and they have been released. A new deadline was not set; it is too hard to tell at this point exactly when closing the prison will be plausible.
