when you've lost Tom Friedman

* laura:
"Juan Cole does capture the Orwellian absurdity of the current situation in a couple sentences. "Raw Story says that the Bush administration is tracing the telephone calls of ABC and other reporters in an attempt to find the source of leaks. The leaks are of things like the fact that the Bush administration is tracing people's phone calls.""

* josh cant quite work out the USAT spying story - but probably thinks the denials are lies (here and here). laura points to greg sargeant and umansky


* Tom Friedman (via laura):
"President Bush has slipped in one recent poll to a 29 percent approval rating. Frankly, I can't believe that. Those polls can't possibly be accurate. I mean, really, ask yourself: How could there still be 29 percent of the people who approve of this presidency?"
