...same time, and largely under the radar, CAP worked furiously during the elections to deliver talking points to overworked journalists, including those at Fox, MSNBC and ABC News, who repeatedly used CAP and its Action Fund's research to quiz McCain surrogates. The hosts and guests of the Sunday news shows received routine briefings by CAP researchers. Liberal talk radio hosts and Democratic surrogates also receive daily talking points from the group. Meanwhile, liberal blogs have long become an echo chamber for CAP's own Internet outreach program, which produces reams of information that highlighted contradictions or hypocrisies in McCain...

...past 1 a.m., and the coast-guard captain estimates the raft left the Turkish coast four hours earlier. The men have rowed more than halfway across the strait, a few hundred yards into Greek territorial waters. They've made it into Europe alive. Five minutes later, the radar picks up another dinghy nearby with five more young men, and the drill is repeated.

...some advisers are arguing he should, that would come as no surprise. "Russia has nothing to fear from a defensive missile shield," Gates said Thursday as he argued for extending the system to Europe. The current plan is to place 10 missile interceptors in Poland and a missile-tracking radar in the Czech Republic by 2014. It's strongly opposed by Russia, which views it as an unwelcome military threat in a region where it has always been pre-eminent. The other leading contender for the Pentagon post is Richard Danzig, a Clinton Navy secretary, who recently told reporters that...
