If the media keeps this up, Bush's approval rating will hit 65 very shortly...
I would surmise that a substantial portion of Bush's recent poll bounce comes from the covert approval of the American public that Bush has been wiretapping suspected terrorists and their affiliates...
I also surmise, the public at large would agree that putting radiological detection equiptment around mosques is not only logical, but the obvious thing to do...
Apparently Bush has been doing a much more thorough and competant job of counterterrorism than we all had realized. It would be interesting to know how many suitcase nukes they've already intercepted. I don't suppose the NYT would care to report on that.
At which point the left, will switch from accusing the Administration of wrongdoing, to accusing the White House of engineering the leaks to bolster the President's approval rating.
That will leave the NYT and whoever the real leakers are scratching their heads, but it'll happen.
