UPDATED:

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs just told reporters that the administration “will not” send Gitmo detainees to Yemen for the time being, reversing the narrative in recent days that the regular order of business would continue.

“We’re not going to make transfers to a country like Yemen that they’re not capable of handling” detainees, Gibbs told reporters. “The determination has been made that right now any additional transfers to Yemen is not a good idea.”

Gibbs otherwise stuck to the message, saying that al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula used Gitmo “as a tool,” and that the administration remains “committed to closing the detention facility.”
