That's one of the saddest things about this whole business - Obama went from a 'look forward, not backwards' approach, which I wasn't very happy with, to explicitly agreeing with and defending many of the Bush administration's tactics.
Glenn Greenwald is (or at least was) a good writer on this and related subjects. I stopped reading his blog about 6 months ago, when it became too depressing.
