1. The Obama Administration “absolutely” intends to keep sendingGuantanamo prisoners to Yemen.  It “has faith in Yemen to handle the situation.”

2. The Obama Adminstration is closing the US embassy in Yemen.  It “painted a picture of robust and innovative Qaeda operations in Yemen. . . Al Qaeda has several hundred members, in fact, in Yemen, and they ve grown in strength.

These statements were made by the same Obama Adminstration official, John Brennan.
