Guantanamo meeting canceled after report closure is near - CNN.com

Guantanamo meeting canceled after report closure is near - CNN.com: "A White House meeting planned for Friday about the future of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility has been canceled after The Associated Press reported the Bush administration was 'nearing a decision' to close the center.

National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said there would be no meeting Friday, but he would not comment on the reasons for the cancellation

Earlier Thursday, AP reported that officials were close to a decision to shut down the facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and that the administration had scheduled a meeting to discuss a proposal to transfer the detainees to other military prisons.

Officials from the White House, the Pentagon and the Justice and State departments denied the AP report."

Well this is interesting... I wonder why it was canceled...
