No Chair for Mr Craig

The White House announced today that Mr Greg Craig would be leaving his post as White House Counsel. This has been on the cards for weeks, even since a hatched job article by the Washington Post. The reason for the departure is simple, Mr Craig did the one mistake that will cost any White House Aide his job, he placed the President in front of a policy that has not worked as planned. In the case of Mr Craig he had the President state that Cuban Detention Centre for terrorists would be closed within a year, that is not going to happen, thus Mr Craig is out. The President did state the following in a Presidential Statement, " ( Craig ) ensured that we are keeping the nation secure in a manner that is consistent with our laws and our values. (In other words you landed me hit a bit of a political problem, therefore your out!) I’m indebted to Greg not only for leading the Counsel’s office but for his many decades of service to this country as well. (Don't Call us we wont call you) He has been a huge asset in the White House, and he will be missed. I will continue to call on him for advice in the years ahead.” (Just don't write a critical book about me!)

9/11 Suspects face New York Court

BBC News: Reports that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, KSM the man behind 9/11 will face trial in New York City. On the whole not opposed to the trial as long as KSM and his fellow suspects go to boot hill after the trial. But there are two worrying points, it can be postulated that New York City will face an increase in the threat of terrorists attacks while the Case is in session, it would be to good a PR stunt for the terrorists, also on the political front it could cost President Obama, what if there is another terrorists attack on New York, the people will take it out on the Obama Administration. Thus the above move is risky but as long as security is in place, then its only fair that the terrorists behind 9/11 have their day in Court. Lets be clear the verdict has to be guilty for all of the men, all have to go to boot hill and there has to be no terrorists attack on New York. If the above happens then a good decision by the Obama Administration.
