An executive order signed by Barack Obama today orders the closing of Guantanamo Bay within a year. The order,
along with two others calling for the reviewing of military trials of terror suspects and the banning of harsh interrogation methods, mark a sharp break from Bush administration policies unpopular around the world and among many Americans.
