illumined horizon

It's not clear to me how much that 'soft on terror' idea is a real concern, and how much it's something put out there by the right wing that maybe the American people don't accept. But the Democrats seem to have taken it on as a real concern, and they don't seem to want to be labeled as weak on terror. It's good to see, though, that in the House the Democrats have not yet rolled over and given Bush the immunity for the telecom companies that he is seeking under the guise of protecting Americans from terror.
