This may be a couple days old, but it isn’t getting anywhere near the attention it deserves–props to Glenn Greenwald for bringing it to my attention.
Here’s a flavor from the first couple paragraphs:
The Obama administration has clung for so long to the Bush administration’s expansive claims of national security and executive power that it is in danger of turning President George W. Bush’s cover-up of abuses committed in the name of fighting terrorism into President Barack Obama’s cover-up.
We have had recent reminders of this dismaying retreat from Mr. Obama’s passionate campaign promises to make a break with Mr. Bush’s abuses of power, a shift that denies justice to the victims of wayward government policies and shields officials from accountability.
I’ve written about this a few times, but too much attention can’t possibly be drawn to it. So, as they say, read the whole thing.
