Blogger Andrew Sullivan says Obama is adept at a rope-a-dope strategy. He says let's move on rather than dredge up torture accusations but then releases info that clearly shows that the US tortured. Cheney walks right into the trap. It's as if Obama gives his opponents a little rope and they proceed to hang themselves.

The Rope-A-Dope Again
So Obama plays defense on torture, urging that we move forward, while releasing crucial information and letting others use up the vacuum. Cheney blunders in ... and even Lieberman has to take up arms against him. This is how this president operates. After Clinton and McCain, Cheney is the latest victim. And by demanding more and more transparency, the former vice-president slowly exposes ... himself.

Interesting. Cheney has certainly become a target.
