Bush to photo op at the NSA
If Bush stages a photo op at the NSA Wednesday, he can no longer claim that anybody is destroying national security by talking about this. Also on the schedule, Mike Hayden the head of the NSA makes a speech Monday, Al Gonzales does the same on Tuesday, and then Bush takes the tour and photo op at the "ultra-secret NSA."
My guess is that the Whitehouse has come to the belief that the strained legal justifications aren't going to hold up, so they're going to PR. If that doesn't work, they'll have to find somebody to slime. It's the only thing they've proved consistently competent at in five years in office.
I'll go back to the old saw, "if the facts are on your side argue the facts. If the facts aren't on your side, argue the law. If the law isn't on your side, pull at their heartstrings." Speeches, photo ops, they're already down to heartstrings. Rarely do you get to watch someone actually slide all the way through this scale inside a month.

Yup, it must be like Macbeth up there at the White House. Cauldrons, hair-tearing, murderous guilt. Naw....
