Having crashed into reality during their classified briefings, Team Obama is reconsidering its exceedingly naive and ignorant campaign promises concerning the War on Terror.
After Obama promised on the campaign trail to limit CIA interrogations of the enemy to the non-coercive methods provided for in the Army Interrogation Manual, Team Obama is quickly back peddling away from that promise and is now saying that they will simply provide more supervision over the CIA coercive interrogation program to ensure that it does not include "torture."
Likewise, after Obama promised on the campaign trail to shut down Gitmo, Obama supporters in the legal community are now arguing that Obama should seek legislation to indefinitely detain al Qaeda terrorists as if they were prisoners of war - just like the Bush Administration has done.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
