Today President Obama signalled that our country will enforce the human rights standards on itself that it already expects the rest of the world to follow. In keeping with international law, GITMO has been ordered closed. Additionally, interrogation techniques outside of the Army Field Manual are prohibited, including water boarding. This order means that the US military, CIA, etc must once again follow the law.
So far, I think all Libertarians should be pleased with the Obama administration. He has come on much more strongly for freedom and open-ness in his first two days than anyone could have expected.

Getting rid of torture. Save one and lose many. Smart move!
Yes, save the individual.
If you think we should "save many, lose one" that's very socialist thinking.
Really? Didn't think so. It's smart thinking.
