Suddenly, Bush discovers the need to try people in Guantanamo Bay.

There really is nothing which Bush will not do before he leaves office to try to tie Obama's hands regarding Guantanamo Bay.

Now Bush, the man who has studiously avoided ever putting the majority of people held at Guantanamo on trial, has now suddenly put together 17 complex military commissions which will make it difficult - if not illegal - for Obama to close down Guantanamo Bay.

There are many people, including some Democrats, who are going to do their best to make it almost impossible for Obama to keep this particular campaign promise.
