"Al Qaeda's still active, and they're still recruiting, and they're still a threat because we won't cower," he said. "Its leaders and foot soldiers continue to plot against the American people.

Too bad yesterday's blackout knocked this most excellent news off the airwaves. It was a very good week for the Bush administration.
