"The Obama Doctrine"

Spencer Ackerman has a longish article on Barack Obama's foreign policy, built in large part on interviews with his team of advisers. Here's what one of them says about the candidate:

"He takes policy positions that are a break from both rigid orthodoxy and the Bush administration. And everyone says it's a gaffe! That just encapsulates everything that's wrong about the foreign-policy debate in Washington and in Democratic politics."

A good read if you want to base your vote on something besides slogans and fear-mongering.
