I'm backing into the whole subject of torture and the idea of prosecution, a truth commission, etc., because it's really, really hard for me to get my head around. I'll be doing more on it, but I want to say this about Obama's reversal on releasing the new photos: this guy, whatever else he is -- and most of what he is, I like a lot -- is a shrewd and subtle politician. All the arguments he's using to hold the photos back have already been rejected by the Second Circuit court. I think what's happening here is, he gets points from his own party and from the military for refusing to release them; the right doesn't get its Obama-is-a-traitor field day; and the photos get released anyway and he knows it. This is how he's handled the issue all along. I think we'll get our truth commission, if not prosecutions, and I think he'll appear as distant as he can from it, so he can go on doing what else needs to be done -- health care reform, the economy, the environment. Do not underestimate this man.
