This move was probably pushed forward by the terrorist attack at Fort Hood. Obama wants to push the ‘crazy criminal’ approach since he has has abandoned the war on terror. If he admits Fort Hood was a terror attack then it necessarily follows that his policy of no intelligence gathering on Muslims, no interrogation of suspects, etc, has failed and the terrorists have struck again. If there are no terrorists, only criminals, then only criminal investigations following the strict rules of criminal law can be implemented.

Of course he’s pushing the “crazy criminal” approach, he can’t possibly go against either his deepest Muslim beliefs, his Muslim co-religionists, nor deny to himself his utter hatred of everything traditionally American.
