Barack Obama is trying to split the difference on torture. He wants to move forward--no messy dwelling on the Bush-Cheney era--except that he'll look backward if forced. There will be no independent commission to hold top-ranking officials politically accountable. But, if Attorney General Eric Holder wants to prosecute the Bush lawyers who defended the legality of waterboarding--John Yoo, Jay Bybee, and Steven Bradbury--well, the president won't stand in the way.At least he's living up to my expectations.

There, fixed it for him.
Hey Tim. I appreciate your comments. These days, I monitor the comments section more closely at Conventional Folly, so feel free to post over there if things are quiet on OxBlog.
