Detention just in case is OK if it's Obama's idea (cuz he's so dreamy)
It's hard to improve on Rachel Maddow's commentary about President Barack Obama's new, improved idea for indefinitely holding terrorism suspects who haven't necessarily done anything, to make sure they commit no dastardly deeds in the future. Yes, it really does sound like the Department of Precrime.
Olbermann wishes he was this sharp.

It's crap. The idea of indefinite detention, that is.
I say this as someone who campaigned and voted for Obama.
We wanted real change, not warmed over Bush/Cheney policies served up on a shingle by a smiling face.
What depresses me about all this is that so many people bought into Obama's cant and bullshit in the first place and, worse, a huge number of people are still invested in it - despite what's going down in front of their very eyes.
The American President is an ugly symptom, not a cause.
