New York Times Calls Out Obama on Torture

Their editorial board just called out Obama as Bush II on torture and secrecy.

OP/EDs generally don't mean much, but I think that the Times, at least in its unsigned editorials, is a barometer of a certain segment of the population, or at least that segment that doesn't live inside the DC Beltway, and as such, this could mean a trend.

I'd give it about 5 to 1 against it being a trend, but a week ago, I would have said 20 to 1.
