CNN just posted this comment President Bush today acknowledged that U.S. authorities have held suspected terrorists in secret CIA prisons around the world and said information obtained from them "has saved innocent lives."

This is rich...if they don't pass this he will use it against them in Nov!

And if they do then Daily Kos will.

Beautiful.

Shalom.

Gotta go to the Fitness Center now.

MAN, was that worth staying home for!!!

[commish]

THat may have just been the single best speech he has done his entire Presidency. WHY OH WHY didn't he wait and give this during Prime Time.

[pollywog]

check out the " breaking news" on our local NBC4LA!!!!! Bush Admits, Defends Existence Of Secret CIA Prisons President George W. Bush acknowledges the existence of CIA prisons, which have been a source of friction between Washington and some allies in Europe.

Hello,

You didn't get that this was exclusively about the war? You know, the war we are in with terrorists?

OK................................................

The President just opened the "BIG" can'o whoop a$$ on Congress!

Yep!

In fact ... Reid is on the floor now whining about the money we've spent on the WOT and Rummy

Kristen Breitweiser, if it's her...in my local paper yesterday, The New Jersey Herald, there's a 10x3 advertisement of her book, Wake-Up Call. Two critiques, one by Larry David (no idea who he is), "Her story is an inspiration even to the uninspirable.", and a second one by none other than Ariana Huffington, "Deeply moving, eye-opening and unflinchingly honest." They forgot to say 'totally biased'! Made me ill seeing the advertisement.

[Miss Marple]

HA! Anyone who thinks that this president is weak or stupid is simply delusional. This ws one of the best strategies I have ever seen. Absolutely wonderful!

[ArGee]

WHY OH WHY didn't he wait and give this during Prime Time.

Maybe he wanted the Dims to start shooting themselves in the feet on Katie's show starting today.

Shalom.

[Toespi]

I am sure we will find out within the next few days.

[pollyannaish]

You know, I think you need to listen closer.

This may be old news for us who pay attention here, but it is not old news for the vast majority of people in this country.

THIS speech pulled it all together and put it in context. It is exactly what many of us have been wanting for months.

[STARWISE]

Sorry ... Rove is already taken .. ;).

[pinz-n-needlez]

They've got 12 legislative days to take care of this.

Bush just double-dog dared them!

[AGreatPer]

Must admit, excellent use of the Bully Pulpit.

[RightWhale]

This was to intercept the legal maneuvers of the antiwar activists. Maybe it will, if Congress actually moves on the Bill, which they won't anytime soon.

[surrey]

Larry David and his wife are huge Hollyweird Libs.

[ArGee]

Thank you so much for your service.

Shalom.
