I don’t think so.

This headline, like that of the New York Times is making hay of the CIA leak that the Iraq War has heightened the threat of terrorism. But we all knew that, didn’t we?

We knew it before, we knew it after. The American public knew it, before and after the last election. What does it serve to make it official with a CIA source?

It’s something for the Democrats to pounce on. They’re going to do the honors with the bullhorn, the Republicans won’t have to. Decrying the rise of terrorism emphasizes the THREAT OF TERRORISM, and hands the issue to the GOP. Yes they messed it up, but who can we trust to protect us? It’s going to be the GOP.

It may look to us like egg on their faces, but that’s Republican cake and they’re planning to eat it.
