Some people will be disappointed by Obama's response yesterday to George Stephanopolous's probing about whether he'll push for a full investigation of Bush administration war on terror policies that may have skirted the law. Here you can see the relevant clip, with commercials front and back. One hopeful sign, Obama clearly states waterboarding is torture. So at least that will end. You can go here to watch the full interview pulled from YouTube, commercial free. The waterboarding section begins at 10:09 of Part 2 and is continued in Part 3.
