However, Feingold says we're not finished yet. "While this is a great start to restoring our Constitution, there is still much to be done" he said. "I look forward to working with President Obama to put our country back on the right path."

</p> <P>
Noting President Barack Obama's decision to issue executive orders to end abusive interrogation tactics, close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and end the Bush Administration program of CIA detentions, as well as executive orders to increase transparency and err on the side of governmental openness rather than secrecy, Feingold says, "President Obama's first days in office have been a triumph for the rule of law. His executive orders yesterday to reverse the secretive practices of the previous administration and the ones he signed today to end abusive interrogation tactics, bring detentions within the law, and close Guantanamo within a year are all critical steps toward undoing the damage done over the last eight years."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/14D527FE-96B4-4CD8-8C0D-36E27E582895/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
