The Pentagon has lifted its edict banning Miami Herald reporter Carol Rosenberg, from going to Guantanamo to cover the military commissions there. Rosenberg is the leading journalist on the story of Gitmo, military detentions and tribunals, so that’s good news.

The bad news is there doesn’t seem to be any formal resolution to the underlying practice of the Pentagon issuing such a ban in the first place.
