Since they'll be so busy reorganizing, they can't be interrupted with Congressional hearings, requests for reports, etc., until the reorganization is nearing completion.

My only reservation would be that Steve is still taking his signals from BushCo, or those of that ilk. When he says nope to taking detainees here, he is endorsing the original abductions/detentions/abuse, pretty much lockstep with the xenophobes who are afeard of having any of them on American soil, even the innocent ones. Even if they're innocent, they have to be guilty somehow, or our world will fall apart -- it's like that. Great riff on that article this a.m. from Lindsay Stewart at Canadian Cynic.
