"We expect Mr. Obama to keep the promise he made over and over in the campaign ? to cheering crowds at campaign rallies and in other places, including our office in New York. He said one of his first acts as president would be to order a review of all of Mr. Bush?s executive orders and reverse those that eroded civil liberties and the rule of law."That job will fall to Eric Holder, a veteran prosecutor who has been chosen as attorney general, and Gregory Craig, a lawyer with extensive national security experience who has been selected as Mr. Obama?s White House counsel."A good place for them to start would be to reverse Mr. Bush?s disastrous order of Feb. 7, 2002, declaring that the United States was no longer legally committed to comply with the Geneva Conventions."
