Greg Sargent catches this gem – Obama’s campaign site slamming the same Bush Admin secrecy policies that now he appears willing to keep.  Sargent further notes:
This underscores what a major turnabout this is and how difficult it will be for the Obama administration to justify this politically going forward. Yesterday White House spokesman Robert Gibbs visibly struggled as he defended the current use of the state secrets privilege while saying Obama still condemns Bush’s use of it.
This also creates a major political dilemma for some Democratic Senators, such as Russ Feingold and Patrick Leahy, who have aggressively criticized use of the state secrets privilege but have been largely silent on Obama’s current use of it.
The public heat needs to be turned up on all involved. “Oh, that was just a campaign line” is not an acceptable excuse.
