Obama Takes Action to Restore Civil Liberties

From the ACLU:

With four executive orders, our new President has:

1. Ordered Guantánamo Bay shut down
2. Banned torture
3. Ordered a full review of U.S. detention policies and procedures, and
4. Delayed the trial of Ali al-Marri, an ACLU client whose case is at the center of the Supreme Court’s review of indefinite detention policies.

You can thank Obama here.

(Thanks go to Michael Short for blogging about this first, so that I could largely crib his post for my own blog. I'm sure this will not be the last time Michael beats me to the punch! Lol)
