There have been several reversals in policy that one could chalk up to the fact that Obama didn't have the intelligence and facts about things until he took office. It's easy to say "we need to stop illegal wiretapping" while you're running an election, but if your security team takes you aside in your first week in the White House and shows you 100 instances where wiretapping prevented terrorist attacks (as a random example), you might think twice about your campaign stance.
