Reuters AlertNet - Taliban say Guantanamo closure "positive step": "LONDON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The Taliban told U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday that his plan to close Guantanamo Bay prison camp was a 'positive step' but peace was only possible if he withdraws U.S. forces from Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Taliban, toppled in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, also told the new president that sending more troops to Afghanistan 'and the use of force against the independent peoples of the world, has lost its effectiveness'.
A day after being sworn in last week, Obama ordered the closure of the prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba,"
Obama making his constituents happy.
