I agree, If the President wants press time on TV I say give him all the time he wants. We are at war after all.

This is what the President must contend with . . .

MCCAIN and GRAHAM SET TO OBSTRUCT THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN:

". . . Senate leaders were briefed on the legislative plan Tuesday night. It already has met resistance from lawmakers who say it would set a dangerous precedent.

Sen. John Warner (news, bio, voting record), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham have drafted a rival proposal. It would guarantee certain legal rights to defendants, including access to all evidence used against them.

In both military and civilian courts, a defendant's right to see evidence is viewed as indispensable to mounting an adequate defense.

"I think it's important that we stand by 200 years of legal precedents concerning classified information because the defendant should have a right to know what evidence is being used," said McCain, R-Ariz.

Another potential point of conflict is whether coerced testimony should be admissible. Administration officials have said allowing coerced testimony in some cases may be necessary, but McCain said the committee bill would ban it entirely."

LOL! I noticed that, too. Personally, I don't expect whatever he says today to be any big deal, but then, I'm wrong about most everything anyway...

I could have sworn that I just read the Lead Moderator telling you to get off this thread. Maybe I imagined it...

What's the time difference between this "cut-in" and Afghanistan? That may be a clue. (It would be midnight there??)

If we captured or killed Usama AND his crew in a very remote area and are intercepting any communications, it may just be that only WE and Karzai and Muscharoff (sp) know anything.

The Bush administration should utilize the eminent domain law passed by the Supreme Court.

They could buy a house next to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry or Joeseph Bidens and turn it into a group home for terrorists.

We could then hand over the security to human rights advocates.
