ARTICLE: 'House Approves Wiretap Measure: White House Bill Boosts Warrantless Surveillance,' By Ellen Nakashima and Joby Warrick, Washington Post, August 5, 2007; Page A01
Interesting bit of back-dating by the Bush Administration, IMHO.
Before the intell community report highlighting resurgent al-Qaida in NW Pakistan, the White House focus is clearly on Iran, with lots of supporting columnist chatter building to strikes.
Then the IC shifts attention and now the White House is backdating strategic initiatives. Fine and dandy.
The IC messes with the Cheney timetable on Iran, and Obama's jumping on it in the campaign.
In the end, all good stuff that hopefully preoccupies these guys til they're out of power.
