The “move on” President has announced he’s ready to “look back”.
President Barack Obama has approved creation of a new, special terrorism-era interrogation unit to be supervised by the White House, a top aide said Monday, pushing further distancing his administration from Bush administration detainee policies.
The new unit does not mean the CIA is now out of the interrogation business, deputy White House press secretary Bill Burton told reporters covering the vacationing Obama at Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.
How convenient for this latest flip-flop to be announced just AFTER he goes into hiding for two weeks.
It seems Leon Panetta is none too happy about how this is all shaking out.
