Whether it's out of partisan hypocrisy or sheer ignorance, I'm not entirely sure, but the popularity of Gitmo and drone attacks is at an all time high, including among self-identified liberal Democrats. I do think there's a strong "Nixon goes to China" aspect to it, and just like Bush could massively increase the size of the regulatory apparatus without rousing conservatives, Obama can bomb the shit out of everything without Dems getting their panties in a twist.
