The New York Times is reporting the Bush administration has rejected calls from Defense Secretary Robert Gates to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay. During his first weeks in office, Gates argued in private to move the detainees held at Guantanamo to inside the United States. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reportedly also joined Gates in calling for Guantanamo to be closed. Their arguments were rejected by President Bush, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney.
