Fallout From Obama’s Guantanamo Policy

Interesting little nugget here: The New York Times’ Elizabeth Bumiller reports that Phillip Carter, the Pentagon’s deputy asst. secretary for detainee issues, resigned last Friday after only seven months on the job. Several Obama appointees have yet to even be confirmed by the Senate, yet Carter is out. His resignation bolsters the case made when Gregory Craig resigned as White House Counsel — that the Obama administration thinkgs it made a crucial mistake in imposing a deadline to close Guantanamo Jan 20. 2010.
