Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which makes him the President's top military advisor.
While we note that Adm. Mullen does not make the case for shutting Gitmo on moral or legal grounds, but on the harm that it is doing to the US image abroad, at least he's on the right side here.
It's interesting that he'd go public with this. Since becoming chair of the Joint Chiefs, in October, he must have had chances to bring his view to Mr. Bush's attention. Could he be trying an end-run around White House opposition?

An interesting side show to this is that Romney wants to double the size of Gitmo, and based on Bush Senior's embrace at Texas A&M before the Faith in America speech, Romney is likely the Bush family's choice for the GOP nomination.
