Obama Transition Clarifies Nunn/Christoper Roles In The Transition

12 Nov 2008 09:31 am

This is the original story, which cites CNN. This is the Obama transition's response:

"Senator Sam Nunn will play an informal senior advisor role throughout the defense transition process.  His expertise and the respect he has earned will be invaluable to ensure a smooth transition. Secretary Christopher is deeply respected in the United States and throughout the international community.  However, he is not playing a role in the transition process. There's a lot of disinformation out there.  We're working hard to put the agency review teams together and expect they'll be announced this week and inside the agencies by the end of the week," said Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Spokesperson Stephanie Cutter.
