Convict Us, we Dare You -- White House

The White House is daring the country to convict Bush on domestic spying charges, declaring thta he is the only voice which will be heard on the issue. NYTimes: "'There was an interest in saying more about it, but everyone recognized its highly classified nature,' one senior administration official said, speaking on background because, he said, the White House wanted the president himself to be the only voice on the issue. 'This is directly taking on the critics. The Democrats are now in the position of supporting our efforts to protect Americans, or defend positions that could weaken our nation's security.'"
