Mona Charen writing on the National Review website notes subtle shifts in some of the ideals that supposedly carried Obama to the White House. Most interesting was the shift from Obama's Attorney General on the subject of holding terrorists. From a story on the LA Times website is a note that "... Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. during his confirmation hearing last month... agreed that the United States is at war with Al Qaeda and suggested the law of war allows the government to capture and hold alleged terrorists without charges."
Maybe the real world is catching up with the Obama administration which was so quick to cast dispersions on the Bush White House during the past election. I am sure this is not the last time the American people will see a shift in the conduct of the War on Terror away from what was promised toward what is a more realistic perspective.
I anxiously await the institution of 'coercive techniques' to gather intelligence from captured/suspected terrorists.
