More on how it’s all Holder’s fault. In a post yesterday, I recounted that in a speech during the 2008 campaign, when Eric Holder was an Obama spokesman, the future attorney general promised a left-wing group a “reckoning” for government officials who carried out Bush interrogation and other counterterrorism policies.

Turns out that back in 2007, candidate Obama did a phone interview with a Las Vegas radio statement and was asked about what his intentions were regarding these policies and the government officials who carried them out. Rush had the audio on it yesterday. Here was Senator Obama’s response:

One of my first acts as president is going to be call in my new attorney general to review every single executive order that’s been issued… to overturn those that are undermining the Constitution, undermining our civil liberties, that are promoting this cockamamie theory of Unitary government, that says that somehow the executive branch does not need to obey the Constitution … and during that process of review, if it’s determined that laws have been broken, then obviously accountability would be part of my Attorney General’s job.
