There might be something to your observations. I don't see them as looking scared, but I see them repeatedly trying to hang the blame on Bush, as if to try to get out in front of a building story.

They looked very tired to me, esp. Pelosi. It's clear they are trying to create a template for the media that will become fixed in people's minds so that when the truth comes out later, no one will believe it.

One bargaining point the GOP had is that they would keep hush hush on the lack of Congressional action over the past several years if Democrats granted some concessions. Once the deal is passed, that silence should be broken and broken loud and clear.
