The Good News Rolls in

Ahhhhh.   A breath of Fresh Air:

Obama Gives GTMO One Year, Forces CIA to Follow Army Field Manual
Also reportedly shuts down the CIA prisons and restricts rendition process.    Also suspends the Military comissions.

Repudiating Bush Legal counsel
The Order also prohibits reliance on any Department of Justice or other legal advice concerning interrogation that was issued between September 11, 2001 and January 20, 2009.

Obama Assembled military leaders to discuss troop withdrawals from Iraq


Obama puts hold on Bush Offshore Drilling Plan

Obama issues strict new ethics rules


Obama issues order opening Presidential records


Apple sets earnings record, beats expectations in 4Q 2009, while Microsoft to cut 5000 jobs

OK, that last one was just snarky and in poor taste.   Still, this has been the nicest news morning I can recall in a long time.
