...Democrats, of course, agree. The G.O.P. has scourged the opposition as the party of cut and run, but that tack is of limited value when the Democratic leadership has reined in calls by members for a prompt withdrawal from Iraq and when most Americans no longer support the war. In any case, the Democrats are now playing offense on Iraq. The home page of Diane Farrell, a Democrat seeking to unseat Representative Christopher Shays in Connecticut, features a calculator for the cost of the war in Iraq that updates second by second--$313 billion and counting. In a crucial seat...

I don't care what label you have attached to your name, I care about is having leaders that are good people, intelligent people who are going to fix the many, many serious problems we are facing...
...which the CIA may continue detaining and interrogating terrorists who are caught in the future - while sending others to be tried in military tribunals. Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, pronounced the CIA prisons "a thing of the past." But Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the top Democrat on the intelligence committee, told of Graham's conclusion, said he was "not so sure." Bush, who is at a low ebb in relations and credibility with Congress, faces tough sledding if he wants to get his legislation passed exactly as he demands...
