The CIA ordered its secret prisons closed, but lawyers for terrorism suspects want them preserved as possible evidence—and the CIA won't say what's going on.

Obama delegated the responsibility for determining what to do about detainees to his political advisers. If George W. Bush had charged his political advisers, including Karl Rove, with crafting such policy, the entire blogosphere would have melted down from outrage overload.

"If George W. Bush had charged his political advisers, including Karl Rove, with crafting such policy, the entire blogosphere would have melted down from outrage overload."

Exactly what do you think George Bush crafted on his own? SERIOUSLY!!! The man could barely read and he certainly couldn't talk, what policies do you think GW handled without ... See Morethe full crafting of his advisers?

I think Obama is doing a good job and I think he's got a hell of a lot to clean up after. Patience is a virtue. One many progressives need to learn.

Mother Jones Thanks for all the feedback yesterday in response to our Facebook usage question! Sounds like most of you wanted to see slightly more from us, or about the same. We'll try to keep it to a post every two hours or so, with less Palin material. (Agreed--I think we're all a little Palin-ed out for now.)

But here's a new qu...estion for you all, a little MoJo trivia we'll be doing from time to time:

I think we all need to agree to ignore Palin. Maybe if we don't pay attention to her, she'll go away.
