I'm a believer in the idea that if a political leader angers people on both sides of the issue, he may well have found a reasonable place in the middle. Barack Obama, who has been tacking hard to the left since January 20th, has thoroughly enraged both the RIght and the Left with his release of four memos detailing CIA methods of extracting information, while concordantly announcing that CIA interrogators who followed these guidelines would not be subject to prosecution.
