Obama administration backtracks on land mine ban

By GottaLaff

Yesterday I posted a report that the U.S. would not sign on to a land mine ban. Not so fast, says the Obama administration:

But in a statement Wednesday, Kelly said that there had been only a partial review concerning who would represent the United States at a conference on the international Mine Ban Treaty next week in Cartegena, Colombia.

Kelly said the administration is still looking at its overall policy. The new statement follows criticism by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy.

Stay tuned.
