WHAT THEY WERE THINKING
 
Scott McClellan (left), Karl Rove (center), Dan Bartlett (right), White House Press Room, March 21, 2006.
McClellan: "The President had just called on veteran UPI reporter Helen Thomas for the first time in three years and I was bracing for her question."
Rove: "Helen Thomas had just asked the President a very pointed question about his reason for going to war and I was nervously awaiting his reply."
Bartlett: "The President was in the process of successfully evading an accusatory question by Helen Thomas and I was about to utter a big sigh of relief."

FEATURE
Responding to grave threats to democracy as we know it, Congress is now preparing:
A ) hearings on illegal spying, searches and seizures secretly authorized by the President.
B ) an investigation into the illegal use of torture by the military and the CIA.
C ) Constitutional Amendments to ban flag-burning and gay marriage.
Hint: This isn't about some quaint legalism, this is about fundamental values!

CORRECTION
In a recent feature we reported that major newspapers and TV news shows had seized upon the third anniversary of our invasion of Iraq to conduct a thorough review of their coverage of the lead-up to the war. We said that many had offered sincere apologies for reporting which was lazy, uncritical, and well below the minimum standards of professional journalism. In fact, no reviews were conducted or apologies offered. We regret any confusion caused by our mistake.
