President Obama promise a clean break from the Bush administration. Well, in the area of spending, he has delivered. His domestic policies and plans are making drunken sailors look sober. In one area, he has proven to be a "Bushie" himself: actions aimed at "foreign interests against the U.S." I think most Bushies called them terrorists.
The candidate Obama roundly criticized the Bush administration for the way these foreign interests against the U.S. were detained without their Constitutional rights. Then candidate Obama indicated that he would deal with those foreign interests on a higher moral plane. Then candidate Obama said he would provide transparency in U.S. actions. Now President Obama has the responsibility. Now President Obama is backtracking.
Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has made some claims about what she was told by the CIA and the Bush administration. She claims that she was never informed about the true nature of the interrogation techniques used against the foreign interests against the U.S. Or perhaps she was informed, but misled. Or perhaps she was informed, but not fully. Or perhaps she was informed, but it was the day she had a hair appointment.
Change is easy to talk about when you don't have the responsibility. Change is easy to talk about when you find the facts inconvenient. Change is not so easy to implement when it is more than political rhetoric. Change is not so easy to implement when you have to account for the results.
