I'm not sure when it started exactly, just that it's not unique to the Bush administration. I think it is more prevalent now, but I think it's more a function of the number of news outlets.

Let me be clear that I agree that all outlets should cover these things; it would be harder for people to simply tune it all out, and they might actually learn something.

THis program has saved many lives. We have no doubt that there would have been numerous SUCCESSFUL terrorist attacks in the United States without this program. THis program has undergone numerous reviews by the Justice Department.

I want to be 100% clear to the world -- THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT TORTURE PRISONERS -- we never have, we never will and I have never authorized torture of any type and any time.

*****ITINFURIATES ME HE EVEN HAS TO SAY THIS!!!!!!!!!! ******

I think this has Karl Rove strategery written all over it.....we are beginning to see progress in teh senate and congerssional election polls for the Republicans and Karl knows the terrorist stuff motivates voters. Bush is now framing the successes he and the "Republicans" have achieved because of THEIR actions regarding the war on terror.

Primers like this are vital to the survival of our policies regarding sounterterrorist activities. Bush on the offensive here is a political move and a damn good one.

You're doing very well, especially given that you're doing near-real time transcription.

Another name is Ramzi bin al-Shibh, which you were very close to. Keep up the great work!

[ohioWfan]

I turned off Rush. Is he talking about it or streaming it?

[RobFromGa]

Military tribunals now!

[abner]

I think this has Karl Rove strategery written all over it...

I was thinking Tony Snow.

[jhp]

so is he trying to get in front of a story or is he going to make a big announcement? Has anyone seen the 9-11 families

[ohioWfan]

Today sending Congress legislations to try war criminals

[AGreatPer]

He is giving so many specific details it is tough to keep up.

I'm not jewish but I just want to say this:
Shalom

[linda_22003]

Can't you get it streamed on a radio or tv website?

[Trust but Verify]

Neither..........

[Mo1]

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

[Peach]

Supreme Court determined that military tribunals are appropriate places to try terrorists. Today I'm asking Congress to establish commissions to try terrorists.

We put forward bill to assure commissions are established in such a way that terrorists are tried but still protect American people.

[roses of sharon]

No way! The public will not hear this, the MSM is pushing bombings in Iraq as if that means killing women and children in the marketplace constitutes a "win".

[abner]

I still have no idea...

[newnhdad]

This really sounds like he's trying to get out in front of a story that'll run in the Sunday papers highlighting the "failure" of the administration's programs designed to keep us safe.

[RobFromGa]

Rush is streaming now...

Bush sent legislation to Congress authorizing war tribunals...

[ArGee]

I'm not Jewish either. Using "Peace" just sounds too hippie to me.

Shalom.

[JFC]

I just get the feeling with all the hate from the left and media in our country, we must pray for President Bush's safty and that of his family.
