CHANGE: Obama admits Guantanamo won’t close by Jan. deadline.

Score it: Weaselly politicians 1, fierce moral urgency of change 0. Okay, actually by now that score’s working out to about 700-0, but . . . .

Plus this: “So, presumably, this new announcement was timed to follow last week’s announcement that KSM would be tried in NYC. Maybe what came first was the realization that Guantanamo would need to remain open, and then something was needed to placate those who put their hope in Obama that he would close the place. Oh, what will we do? I’ve got an idea! Let’s put on a show! Let’s try KSM in NYC!”
