- Wall Street Journal headline, dated tomorrow: “CIA Had Secret Al Qaeda Plan.”
- New York Times headline, December 15, 2002: “Bush Has Widened Authority of C.I.A. to Kill Terrorists.”
As Steve Green jokes, “Apparently, there are those who think it’s OK for us to kill the enemy during wartime. What’s happened to America?”
Heaven forfend! Orrin Judd adds, “The GOP should insist on hearings, just to get the Democrats on record as opposing killing al Qaedists.”
Update: Massive!
