Dubai, 19th Nov. 2008 -- The infamous US prison in Cuba, Guantanamo Bay, had never been a huge campaign issue for Barack Obama, the incoming US president, a UAE daily paper commented.
''It was not at least the most important issue of the campaign for the Democratic presidential candidate. There were far more serious issues like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and of course the bigger issue of current economic mess at home,'' wrote Khaleej Times in its editorial.
