It's a little more than partisan politics. At a time when, to be charitable, President Bush is mistaken in his facts in the State of the Union speech, when the consensus is that our intelligence in this area is fundamentally flawed, our noble leader's henchman disabled part of the network that we *did* have because of pique with a spouse of one of the agents. Does this strike you as something that should go on?
