WASHINGTON (CNN) — In a move already drawing fire from liberal activists, aides to President Barack Obama acknowledged the administration will miss its own Tuesday deadline to submit a report detailing its policy on detaining terror suspects.
The report is a key part of laying out the White House’s plan for shutting down the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay.
In a briefing for reporters Monday, four senior administration officials confirmed the task force dealing with detention policy has been granted a six-month extension to flesh out its plans, while a separate task force dealing with interrogation policy has been given a two-month extension to submit its own report to the president. The reports had been mandated to be completed this week by executive orders the president signed during his first week in office.
How much do you want to bet that the six-month extension gets extended again? And that GTMO doesn't close next year, or the year after that?
