"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 - Democrat: White House built 'wall' around�spy�program - Feb 2, 2006: Rockefeller - "'What is unique about this one particular program among all the other sensitive NSA programs that justifies keeping Congress in the dark?'"

Not all of Congress has been kept in the dark and Rockefeller should know since he is one of those kept up on it - "'Administration officials from the president down have argued that since a small group of lawmakers -- including Rockefeller -- were briefed on the secret program, Congress cannot complain it was not informed."'

These guys prove day in and day out that they cannot be trusted with everything. Scoring political partisan points with all sorts of information that should be left unsaid (for the country's safety). No sooner would details be released and we would be reading about this or that leak. Do they really think the president just doesn't share and play nice?

Besides, this is great for DeMediacrats, it falls right into their MO.
