OMG the coolest thing you've seen for 8 years:

This, from the executive order on interrogation, is pretty stark:

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.

Today's executive orders are after the jump.

18. Okay, so how long before some winger takes your accurate, innocuous statement
and accuses the President of nit-picking? B-)

19. credit where credit is due
This is an excellent executive order. My confidence in Obama is gradually being restored, despite the DLC fringe that have taken up nest in his cabinet he still seems to be doing the correct thing.
