SPY vs. SPY

The Chickens Come Home to Roost

At a House Republican retreat, President Bush made a few public statements before reporters and then asked the press to scoot, so he could privately discuss and defend his National Security Agency eavesdropping/domestic spying program to fellow GOP leaders.

But after reporters exited, Bush's microphones remained on, allowing the journalists outside to eavesdrop on the president, who himself was defending the right to eavesdrop.

What beautiful irony.

Sadly, the press didn't discover any juicy secrets.

(Or they were killed and we'll never know what they heard.)
