So lead.

Editor,

Eric Holder professed in his nomination hearing to be Attorney General that he is a champion of human rights, unequivocally opposed to torture (as if in the United States of America a splitting of such hairs is not an abomination in the first place).

Barack Obama signed an executive order in his first days as president to close the American torture facility known as Guantanamo.

So? What is wrong with these people? They talk the talk. Why are they not walking the walk?

Message to Barack Obama: You can't have it both ways. You have to make up your mind one way or the other. Saying what people want to hear and doing the opposite won't cut it anymore. The American people want leadership; so lead.
