Bush Press Conference 9:30 AM Central!!!!

Just wanted to get out a heads up. Depending on how deferential the press is, this could be very good TV. Iraq War, NSA Spying, Secret Prisons, DoD monitoring antiwar activists, the "Delay is innocent" comment, all complicated legal issues which I would think are beyond the President's ability to explain.

Always much better than a speech. I wonder if the speech didn't test well.

WASHINGTON - The White House unexpectedly announced Monday morning that President Bush will hold a news conference at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Or maybe he just wanted to surprise the terrorists. But like any press conference, it all comes down to the questions and the questioners. I'll be really curious at this particular political moment, where the balance is between deference to office and fear of retribution, versus the reporters desires to be 'the one' to ask the question.
