President Barack O'Bush and state secrets

The following two quotes are substantive follow-up, wouldn't you agree, to the earlier post that increasingly there is very little difference between Bush's policies and Obama's?

"It can fairly be said that the Bush administration made torture the law of the land and the Obama administration is making impunity for torture the law of the land," said Ben Wizner, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorney who represented the plaintiffs in the case. ...

"You've got state secrets, targeted killings, indefinite detention, renditions, the opposition to extending the right of habeas corpus to prisoners at Bagram [in Afghanistan]," Mr. Hayden said, listing the continuities. "And although it is slightly different, Obama has been as aggressive as President Bush in defending prerogatives about who he has to inform in Congress for executive covert action."

Yes, as Reason titled this, it is "torture today, torture tomorrow, torture forever"

What a refreshing change it has been at the White House! :(
