New executive orders from President Barack Obama, directing that the Guantánamo Bay dentition facility and the CIA’s Gulag Archipelago of secret prisons be closed within a year.

He also ordered, “ll federal agencies and departments on Tuesday to stop any pending regulations until they can be reviewed by incoming staff.”

It’s nice to have people in the White House who aren’t, you know, irredeemably evil.

But I still want war crimes prosecutions.
