Spin

The current headline in the NYTimes: In Victory for Obama, Court Bars Detainees’ Challenges.
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that three men who had been detained by the United States military for years without trial in Afghanistan had no recourse to American courts. The decision was a broad victory for the Obama administration in its efforts to hold terrorism suspects overseas for indefinite periods without judicial oversight.

I somehow think that the take-away would be different if a Republican were President.
