Obama To Try To Close Guantanamo Bay Again

President Barack Obama has chosen a classic inside-Washington lawyer to make another try at closing down the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It's where the U.S. has held foreign terror suspects ever since the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Clifford Sloan will become the State Department's special envoy. That office was closed down in January. Sloan will try to negotiate between the administration and Congress on a way to shut down the prison. Sloan is a partner at Skadden Arps, where he is listed as specializing in intellectual property, media and entertainment. He's worked in all three branches of government.
