It's the proper course to take, to appear above the fray. Let Sandy Berger get tried in the media, they need a juicy story, since the election campaign must look boring to them. We find out that Slick was at least as misinformed as Bush was, more likely, we find that Slick's people strengthened AQ.
The country gets reminded of the fact that the 9/11 terrorists infiltrated this country during the Clinton administration, not on GWB's watch. If the White House beats the drum, no one will be able to hear the press beating it.
"If the White House beats the drum, no one will be able to hear the press beating it."
One can hope I guess. We will see. I am not to sure of it though.
