Here is a tidbit from today's news:
Among other policies, the Obama team has also placed a United States citizen on a targeted-killings list without a trial, blocked efforts by detainees in Afghanistan to bring habeas-corpus lawsuits challenging their indefinite imprisonment, and continued the C.I.A. rendition program – though the administration says it now takes greater safeguards to prevent detainees from being mistreated.
I wish to commend Kevin Drum in particular for continuing to draw our attention to these policies.
“Have you ever used a boxcutter? Don’t lie to me dammit, I know you’ve used a boxcutter! Okay, put him in the tank again! I know this mother%@#^er knows something about box cutters. He made 37 orders from Amazon last year for god sake.”
Just seems more humane when Democrats do it
Well, at least the Obama administration is doing some things right. I think Obama knows that a lousy economy may cost him seats in Congress, but another 9/11 would get him impeached, at least if it could plausibly be traced to any reversal of a Bush administration policy.

Complaining about Government civil rights violations is so 2007.
Hope and change, baby!
Volock .conspiracy has covered it since inauguration day like the Instapundit
Actually I had noticed that Obama was politically almost exactly the same as Bush. Just more competent and with a grasp of the English language. He is a hawk, a fiscal conservative, and a pragmatist. He seemed more sane than voting for McCain, though.
In case you haven’t noticed a lot of the people who are unhappy with Obama are Democrats, and they aren’t unhappy with him because he’s too liberal.
Good post. It’s important that we recognize good work across ideological lines.
