Glenn is watching to see whether Obama can pass a pretty low-stress test:

Today is the most significant test yet determining the sincerity of Barack Obama's commitment to restore the Constitution, transparency and the rule of law. After seeking and obtaining multiple extensions of the deadline, today is the final deadline for the Obama DOJ to respond to the ACLU's FOIA demand for the release of four key Bush DOJ memos which authorized specific torture techniques that have long been punished (including by the U.S.) as war crimes. Today, Obama will either (a) disclose these documents to the public or (b) continue to suppress them -- either by claiming the right to keep them concealed entirely or, more likely, redacting the most significant parts before releasing them.

The major cost of doing the right thing is making him look much better than his predecessor, so it shouldn't be too hard for him. But, who knows?

Let's say he does the right thing, what's the proper moral of this story?

1. Obama is Teh Awesome, we should never criticize him again
2. "Make me do it" works. More like this, please.
