• Methodical Approach Slows Start of Mohammed Trial

The military officer overseeing the prosecution of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed is taking a go-slow approach that would bring the confessed Sept. 11 mastermind to trial months, or perhaps years, from now. It was seven years ago when the CIA in Pakistan captured Mohammed and eventually turned him over to U.S. military custody for a war- crimes trial at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

• A President Worth a Billion Dollars? ; Power of Incumbency Could Strengthen Army of Donors for 2012

In a political career already noted for historic breakthroughs, President Obama is poised in 2012 to chalk up another: the nation's first $1 billion candidate. With the 2012 election more than 19 months out, Mr. Obama's team is preparing to again tap into the army of small-dollar donors who powered his record-breaking 2008 money haul. Replicating that success will depend in part on whether the president can convince his most fervent supporters to overlook disappointments on campaign promises such as immigration reform and closing the prison at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

• Gop Bill Zeroes Out Programs, Puts Curbs On Obama Initiatives

The $60 billion in spending cuts House Republicans sent to their chamber floor Tuesday are more than just budget trims - they mark the beginning of the party's effort to tweak the way the Obama administration has operated during its first two years. Republicans have proposed zeroing out dozens of federal programs and entire White House offices, including President Obama's top advisers on climate change and health care. Their bill also would impose dramatic restraints on Mr. Obama's ability to pursue closing the detention facility for terrorism suspects at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, enact his land-use policies or follow through on Environmental Protection Agency action against states over greenhouse-gas emissions.

• Guantánamo Bay: Change We Can't Believe In

According to a New York Times article in June 2010, the Obama administration was suspending efforts to close down the U.S. Naval base detention camp at Guantánamo Bay due to fierce political opposition. [...] despite promises to close down the detention camp, President Obama has never committed himself to returning Guantánamo to the Cuban government. [...] the president's previous attempts at improving relations with Cuba, such as allowing unlimited remittances and giving Cuban-Americans unrestricted travel rights to the island, have proven to be relatively modest.
