I agree with the general consensus that President Obama has made the right call here, albeit later than he should have. The press’s appetite has been fueled in ways it wouldn’t have been if he’d made the right call from the outset. Moreover, I think Obama’s decision debunks the claim that he had to release the torture memos either. Recall that lots of Obama’s defenders, including Obama, wanted it both ways on the release of those memos. They wanted to argue he was courageous for his decision, but that the release was inevitable anyway because of an ACLU FOIA lawsuit. Well, he could have fought then, as he’s decided to fight now. Right?
