Bush dead-enders applauding Obama

As a follow-up to the post below, check out the Wall Street Journal's uber-right-wing editorial page praising Obama's anti-terrorism policies. First graf:
President Obama's endorsements of Bush-Cheney antiterror policies are by now routine: for example, opposing the release of prisoner abuse photographs and support for indefinite detention for some detainees, and that's just this week. More remarkable is White House creativity in portraying these U-turns as epic change. Witness yesterday's announcement endorsing military commissions.
From the last graf: "[Obama] has now decided to preserve a tribunal process that will be identical in every material way to the one favored by Dick Cheney."

If there was any doubt that Obama was on the wrong course with this stuff, then that ought to be evidence enough. WTF?
