It might just be a trial balloon, or perhaps unsubstantiated rumor, but Obama needs to reconsider the idea of issuing an executive order regarding preventive detention.
I realize that he was left a mess by Bush. Now that the people have been held without due process it is hard to try them at this point and there are some who should not be released. Still we cannot risk setting a precedent which seems to legitimize the actions of George Bush.
