Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

[Happy Monkey]

Bush's willingness to publicly acknowledge a highly classified spying program was a stunning development for a president known to dislike disclosure of even the most mundane inner workings of his White House. Just a day earlier he had refused to talk about it.

This is not a stunning development. This is pure SOP for the administration. Do something wrong, keep it secret as long as posible, and when it comes out they scream that it was the right thing to do, justified by 9-11, and they only kept it secret because of the liberal media. The media, in its pathetic obsession with not seeming liberal, treats that position as if it were just as legitimate as the position that the action should never have been done in the first place, and should never have been keps secret in the second.
