"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

CNN.com - Bush visits super-secret�spies - Jan 25, 2006: "He was aiming to boost the morale of the people carrying out the work of a 4-year-old domestic spying program in which the government monitors the international communications of people inside the United States whom it believes to have connections to the terrorist network al Qaeda."

A marked improvement. At least they mention that they are communications with those outside the U.S. and possible connections to al Qaeda.

However, they cannot let go of the "domestic spying program" moniker. Well that's what it is, one might say. Yes, one might say that, but it would bely where you stand on the question. Isn't the media supposed to be impartial and non-biased?

SHHHHHHH! Bush speaks at spy HQ.
