One thing I noticed (I wonder if you all noticed the same thing) was the amazing invisible shift of the dem's from claiming the President is a loose cannon attacking without provocation (pre-book deal) to claiming he should've done something pre-9/11 but didn't (post-book deal). What's it gonna be? Is he a cowboy or a cautious calvin? I sincerely doubt that his personality shifted 180 degrees on 9/11 so I suspect somebody is just trying to paint him in WHATEVER light is likely to get them the most votes (not that I'd expect them to do anything else... it is an election year after all [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Everyone also seems to have conveniently forgotten what the atmosphere was like before 9/11. Not particularly conducive to addressing the terrorist problem at that point.
