re: #266 simoom

It’s another example of “go after (and undermine) their strengths”. I think this particular line of attack originated with this article in Foreign Policy by former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen:

Dead Terrorists Tell No Tales: Is Barack Obama killing too many bad guys before the U.S. can interrogate them?

Since then a number of other publications, blogs and talking heads have taken that ball and run with it.

Whatever Obama does, they’re against it. So much for the party of fair play.
