...Terrorists are criminals whose victims come from all walks of life, communities and religious backgrounds," Smith told the House of Commons. "Terrorists attack the values that are shared by all law-abiding citizens." Though the words were not so very different from those used by her pugnacious predecessor John Reid, they were greeted as if they signified a radical departure from the Blair years. The opposition thanked Smith for her "dignity and calm." "She could say exactly the same thing [as Reid] and sound completely different," says a Home Office insider.

...Democrats in the Senate are facing many of the same problems. Majority Leader Harry Reid controls the Senate by one of the slimmest margins in U.S. History, with 48 Democrats constituting a majority (Senators Joe Lieberman and Vermont's Bernie Sanders are Independents who caucus with the Democrats and South Dakota Democrat Tim Johnson is still out on medical leave).

...energy legislation is not finished by the middle of this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has threatened to pull it in favor of the immigration bill, though he has promised to finish the measure before July 4 recess. The bill probably has enough in it pleasing to other constituencies - farming states love the biofuel provision, wind states like the renewable incentives and most Democrats want to see the tax breaks for oil and gas companies go away - to pass Congress. But Democrats will have their work cut out for them to appease environmental groups if the bill is passed...
