    9/11 Bias

    I tend to agree with pieceofcake that no one should be judged by what they said immediately after 9/11. It was a twisted time when a lot of otherwise intelligent people weren't thinking straight. That doesn't mean I trust Holder to reverse anything. Obama is a moderate conservative and the chances are that Holder will do what Obama wants, which is mitigation rather than denunciation and wholesale decommissioning of Bush policies. I'm not even sure Obama will actually close Gitmo or that Holder will push him to do it. Everything now is "wait and see" so I'll w and s with everyone else.
