TOKYO – The White House's top lawyer is returning to private practice and being replaced by a longtime adviser to Barack Obama.
White House counsel Greg Craig,
who's leaving in early January, has been the subject of questions about
his future since late summer. Those questions centered on concerns that
Obama's promise to close the Guantanamo Bay military prison by January
had gone awry under Craig's leadership.
