I heard Tony Snow on Laura Ingrham’s show this morning. Laura pointed out that we the people don’t trust government anymore so Snow used Reagan’s “Trust but verify” line.
Basically he said we should allow them to do what they want and then we’ll have a chance to verify that they were telling the truth. The only problem is that once it’s done it’s done and if they’re lying (they are) there won’t be anything we can do about it.

You are right. Why give them the chance to screw us up even more. Don’t give an inch.
Word to Tony— Trust but Verify in this conext means giving you the benefit of the doubt you will enforce the border, but making you prove it FIRST. Reagan certainly didn’t intend for spinmeisters like you to twist it into cart blanche to override the demands of the citizenry.
I’m rarely home to listen to Laura these days, was today heard Tony’s voiceand had o shut it off. I knew she was going to rip him to shreds, but I just couldn’t stomach hearing one more damn lie from their mouths.

Snow or his minions lurk here.
The “verify” is useless because if Bush cheats, and he will because he is a liar and a fraud, you can’t reverse the automatic legalization of 20+ million.
Tony Snow has gone beyond pr, into active, agressive lying.
The Bush Administration is a corrupt, elitist fraud.
But I noticed Cheney is staying out of this mess.
