White House Counsel Craig to Step Down - FOXNews.com Craig, the top lawyer at the White House and a close aide to President Barack Obama, has helped lead the administration's efforts on several national-security policies that initially enjoyed popular support but have since become liabilities for Obama.
These include the planned closure of the prison for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the release of Bush administration-era national-security documents.
I don't understand what he did or didn't do, in these policys.
Was he in trouble, because he couldn't figure a way to close Gitmo?
Or because he suggested it?
Is this person falling on his sword for Obama, or did he make mistakes and should be gone?

I bet he stepped down so he could be Khalid Sheikh Mohammeds lawyer.

Usually when a political stooge falls on his sword for the Big Kahuna, the reasons are obvious... for example, in light of some particularly nasty/embarassing scandal.
I'm going to guess there were some legitimate mistakes made at some point,. | |
