I like this guy's take:
The "old media" and Drudge have it all wrong. Bush is not reversing course and they are not getting "Geneva Rights."
Today, the President has wagered all of his "political chips" and sided with the uniformed Combat Arms Branches instead of the JAG Chiefs.
Hugh is pretty straight forward:
The president also included a muted but real rebuke to SCOTUS majority in Hamdan, as well as a blunt demand on Congress that it act quickly to authorize the military tribunals and procedures necessary to try the terrorists who launched the 9/11 attacks. Only the Lamont wing of the Democratic Party will oppose such legislation. In the next ten days or so we will see just how large that wing is.
Mario over at the corner thinks it is brilliant:
