Asserting that one's company hit a triple when it was born on third base is self-serving and manipulative.

Rate of entrepreneurship in the US has declined, and is overwhelmingly class, race, and sex based. It's borderline sociopathic to assert that it's getting easier for the little guys to compete.

Justifying the move as a step to keep America safe is the right move in this political context. America is generally fearful right now, so Obama's political adversaries will attack this move as eroding the safety the prison system attempts to maintain.

"My job is to keep Americans safe" is an acceptable justification for limiting solitary confinement. It would not be an acceptable justification for extrajudicial killings.

Your comment is pedantic.

A school bus driver's job is to get kids from their homes to school and back. If she says her most important job is to keep the kids safe, it doesn't mean that she's not going to do her job! Instead, it means that she'll do her job in such a way that it keeps her safe, and in no way implies a conflict of interest between her job description and safety.
