Nice to see O'Bama working on getting rid of midnight Bush rules

Hi,

And I have attempted to make clear that this is not my position but an absurd extreme you have supplanted with my position. I have twice now stated that you may have misunderstood my position and that the misunderstanding may have been with my wording and I have attempted to rectify that. Obviously I have not been successful...

Actually, you have been successful (finally). I've gone back and carefully reread this sub-thread and I see where I was wrong in attributing to you sentiments you did not express. Indeed, we do not seem to be too far apart on this issue. I started out supporting your position but questioning your use of the Hippocratic Oath and somehow ended up putting words in your mouth. My apologies.

--Pete
