>> do you now accept all of Turley's criticism of W? I don't accept the claim that waterboarding is torture, and thus those criticisms of Bush are nonstarters with me. As you know, I not only approved of waterboarding but I think it was a necessary and rewarding effort to extract important information from terrorists. I do appreciate Turley's libertarian streak, and I find myself agreeing with him as often as I don't. But on waterboarding, I have a different view. It is a personal opinion he holds more than it is a legal opinion, I believe. Once the torture claim is removed from the argument Turley's criticism of Obama is way, way beyond that of Bush. He has gone so far as to state that if Obama's violations of the law are not reversed before he leaves office we face constitutional crises because of it. About that he is clearly correct.
