In New Jersey, for instance, polling places couldn't meeta 2008 deadline to add a paper trail to their voting machines, so the deadline was extended until 2009--after the election.
The President won't meet the deadline he laid out a year ago, but the President, his national security team, our generals in Iraq and Afghanistan, understand the support for al Qaeda that Guantanamo provides them in recruiting, in attracting those that seek to do us harm.
But the about five million recipients who have yet to make the switch won't see their checks cut off if they don't meet the deadline, says Walt Henderson, a spokesman for the Treasury Department.
