I hope that Obama stops this right away

.
Totally unacceptable. I dont believe Obama himself approves of this. But there are clearly elements in his administration whose actions are unacceptable.

I also wrote about it in Daily Kos. I never thought that it would be easy for Obama to implement real changes. There are still many elements/left overs of the rogue Bush regime who still have influence. But this goes against the core of Obama's values and concepts and needs to be stopped. If Obama can not change this, it means that he will be unable to implement any substantial changes. Of course, that would not surprise me.
