Stuck

According to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the U.S. is essentially "stuck" with the Guantanamo prison facility:

Gates told lawmakers that he still believes that the prison should be closed, but has not found a way to do it.

"Senator, I think the brutally frank answer is we're stuck. And we're stuck in several ways," he told California Senator Dianne Feinstein.

He said the United States was prepared to send 60 or 70 prisoners home but either cannot persuade their countries to take them, or can't trust them not to free them.

Stuck.  Wow.  What a dilemma for the Secretary of Defense.  If only there were someone, somewhere who had the power to solve this problem.  Someone who was in charge of U.S. military policy . . . .
