Dem Senator Changes Mind on Gitmo Timetable

Somebody's paying attention to the polls:

Webb opposes Gitmo timetable

Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., says he now disagrees with President Barack Obama’s timetable to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in January 2010.

But Webb supports Obama’s idea of reviving military commissions to try some terror suspects now detained there.

Webb, appearing on ABC’s “This Week” program, acknowledged that in January he said the president had established a reasonable timeline for closing the detention center.

He said he has changed his mind on the timetable.

I doubt there's any way for Obama to close Gitmo within the timeframe Obama proposed.
