SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - One of President-elect Obama's top concerns is what to do about Guantanamo Bay.

Last night in a CBS 60 Minutes interview, Obama said he plans to close the prison.

"I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo and I will follow through on that," said Obama during the interview. "I have said repeatedly that America doesn't torture and I'm going to make sure that we don't torture. Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America's moral stature in the world."
