Obama Reportedly Eyeing Indefinite Detention Order for Some Held at Guantanamo

Stymied by Congress so far, the White House is considering issuing an executive order to indefinitely imprison a small number of Guantanamo Bay detainees considered too dangerous to prosecute or release, two administration officials said Friday. One of the officials said, if issued, the order would not take effect until after the Oct. 1 start of the 2010 fiscal year. Congress has blocked the administration from spending any money this year to imprison the detainees in the United States.
