1. KnR. I think POTUS is laying out the Obama Doctrine. I'll be interested in dispassionate commentary

Hopefully there will be some. (Ever-hopeful.)

2. The commentary that I heard from Howard Fineman was that the Obama

Doctrine is basically an adoption of the Bush Doctrine, which thrilled Fineman the neo-con to no end. :He's a realist, not a pacifist" he said over and over. Lovely. Obama has won over the war cheerleaders.

3. Obama will have me convinced as soon as he starts the war crimes

trials of those who authorized the war in Iraq and torture. And why are we still using rendition? If we aren't torturing people any more, why are we renditioning them? What are we hiding?
