I understand that, and by itself that is great. My point is that the function of the OLC seems to be focused on the behavoir of the present executive, rather than investigating past ones.
If so, then regardless of how squeaky-clean Obama's administration might be, and regardless of how outspoken the head of OLC (Johnsen) has been regarding Bush's past behavior, the foundations for future lawless behavior by an executive--laid by Bush with assistance from others--remain intact. This would be the case even if Johnsen was allowed to review all Bush OLC decisions, and the bad decisions withdrawn/rejected by Obama.
