For the Washington Post, that's a big step. Think of it as a first step in twelve.
WHEN THE New York Times revealed the National Security Agency's domestic wiretapping program late last year, President Bush assured the country that the operation was carefully limited to international calls, targeted only al-Qaeda suspects and did not involve snooping on law-abiding Americans. That turns out to be far from the whole truth.And the Post gets bonus points for a second editorial suggesting that the HUD secretary needs to step down:
Either Mr. Jackson broke the law and then lied about it, or he lied that he had broken the law. Which of those actions makes him fit to be secretary of housing and urban development?Boy oh boy, two rather logical editorials in a row on the same day. Fred Hiatt's gonna be pissed when he gets back from his vacation.
