Apparently by "change" Barack Obama meant, not change. Or maybe just make believe change, I honestly don't know.

 

President-elect Barack Obama is unlikely to radically overhaul controversial Bush administration intelligence policies, advisers say, an approach that is almost certain to create tension within the Democratic Party…

“He’s going to take a very centrist approach to these issues,” said Roger Cressey, a former counterterrorism official in the Clinton and Bush administrations. “Whenever an administration swings too far on the spectrum left or right, we end up getting ourselves in big trouble.”…

[H]e more recently voted for a White House-backed law to expand eavesdropping powers for the National Security Agency. Mr. Obama said he opposed providing legal immunity to telecommunications companies that aided warrantless surveillance, but ultimately voted for the bill, which included an immunity provision.

The new president could take a similar approach to revising the rules for CIA interrogations, said one current government official familiar with the transition. Upon review, Mr. Obama may decide he wants to keep the road open in certain cases for the CIA to use techniques not approved by the military, but with much greater oversight…

Advisers caution that few decisions will be made until the team gets a better picture of how the Bush administration actually goes about gathering intelligence, including covert programs, and there could be a greater shift after a full review.

 

I guess He and Bush do have a bit in common wouldn't you say? It actually reminds me of another president in our past honestly. Was it not Clinton who endorsed coercive interrogation two years ago in ticking bomb scenarios?Alan Derschowitz had the same ide, going as far as to issue "torture warrants" in certain cases. 

If Barry O does load up his cabinet with old Clintonites like Emanuel, and he was honest is taking out Bin Laden as a top priority. I am thinking that maybe Bushs tactics on terrorists may be childs play dont you?
