John Yoo came under blistering attack for his legal opinions to the Bush Administration about the pursuit of terrorists because those opinions didn't conform to the Democrat party line as it was at the time. So his observations about President Obama's pursuit of terrorists are particularly noteworthy.
In today's Wall Street Journal, Obama, Drones and Thomas Aquinas:
President Obama notched another victory in the war on terror Monday, when a CIA drone strike killed al Qaeda's second-in-command in Pakistan. ...
Al-Libi's death, however, may represent tactical success in the drone war at the expense of broader strategy.
He goes on to chide Obama over his take-no-prisoners approach -- dead men tell no tales. Further, the flowing faucet of security leaks is frightening away friends who might have otherwise shared intelligence.
Mr. Yoo certainly got the last laugh. And he's once again demonstrated that the attacks on the Bush Administration were about as sincere as campaign bumper stickers and just as partisan.
