NO POLITICIAN HAS EVER UNDERSTOOD BETTER THAN W...:

'Terrorist court' plan shows a new Obama emerging (Steven Edwards, November 11, 2008, National Post)

Let me get this straight. On the campaign trail, Barack Obama felt traditional military and civilian courts in the United States provided a perfectly adequate “framework” for prosecuting terrorism suspects – and that the Bush administration’s military tribunals in Guantanamo Bay were a judicial abomination.

Now we hear that he and his team are looking at creating a special “terrorist” court to deal with the worst of the worst, whose cases are entangled in sensitive highly classified material.

So isn’t that confirmation that there is, after all, a need for a “third way” to deal with enemy combatants in an age of terrorist warfare? Funny how the policy proposals change once the election mandate is secure.

...that if letting your opponents take credit for your ideas brings them to fruition, then take the achievement instead of the credit. President Obama will rebrand plenty of stuff so that he can ape W without admitting it. If the gets the Left to do what's right, more power to him.
