"I can say without exception or equivocation that the United States will not torture."  -- just now,

Good man.  Okay, I'm realistic enough to know that every state has dark cellars with nasty people in 'em, but torture as policy and the mealy, weaselly way that the Bush administration described it as not *really* torture, that was foul and it stank.

Hopefully he will be Kennedy and not Blair. But anyone who is prepared to can Guantanamo at the first available has started off on the right path

Aye, I had some similar rainbows and unicorns when Blair got in, at first, so I'm trying to hold back the huge grin.

Closing Guantanomo, appointing Mitchell to the Middle East... it's a great start.
