Gov Quinn/Sen Durbin re: leaked memo
White House “senior administration official” comment re: leaked memo concerning Gitmo detainees going to Thomson Correctional Center via FOX:
This is a draft, predecisional document that lawyers at various agencies were drafting in preparation for a potential future announcement about where to house Gitmo detainees. Drafts of official documents are often prepared for any and all possibilities, regardless of whether a decision has been made about the policy or if the document will be used.
Evidently before barry can make the final decision (announce it) he has to “sign an annual appropriations package, including a $1.1 trillion omnibus measure pending in the Senate, which details how the president will inform Congress about transferring detainees to U.S. soil”.
