THE UNICORNITARY EXECUTIVE:

Administration opposes Plame appeal (Ben Conery, May 21, 2009 , Washington Times)

The Obama administration Wednesday took the side of top Bush administration officials - including most-vocal recent critic, former Vice President Dick Cheney - in the ongoing fight over the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame. [...]

"We are deeply disappointed that the Obama administration has failed to recognize the grievous harm top Bush White House officials inflicted on Joe and Valerie Wilson," said Melanie Sloan, one of the couple's attorneys and the executive director of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "The government's position cannot be reconciled with President Obama's oft-stated commitment to once again make government officials accountable for their actions."

There's no bigger waste of time than trying to reconcile candidate Obama's commitments to President Obama's actual policies.
