This is The Telegraph. They always do some "administration is divided - Condi fights Cheney fights Gates/Rumsfeld fights Bush fights CIA fights ..." stories to sour "the faithful" on administration. First 20 posts on FR usually jump on headline and take it as done deal and God's truth... Nothing happens but bad feelings stay, especially after 6 or 7 years of such stories and, especially now, when nerves are raw because of suicidal shamnesty.
Gates is possibly suggesting it, as part of "implementing" a Baker's ISG report, or it's simply as a high level pow-wow to have a defense strategy against Congress on why Gitmo isn't going to be closed "as Baker's ISG proposed"...
In other words, not bloody likely!
I hope you are right.
