Los Angeles Times: Bush is a "coward"
The New York Times editorial page used the word "un-American" to describe the Bush campaign's continued attempts to label John Kerry the candidate for terrorists.

Today, the Los Angeles Times editorial page calls Bush a "coward" for allowing these slimy tactics and benefiting from them -- but not taking responsibility .

"Compared with Kerry, George W. Bush is a coward. This is not a reference to their respective activities during Vietnam. It refers to the current election campaign. Bush happily benefits from the slime his supporters are spreading but refuses to take responsibility for it or to call point-blank for it to stop. He got away with this when the prime mover was the shadowy Swift boats group. Will he get away with it when the accusers are his own vice president, high officials of his own administration (Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage) and members of Congress from his own party (House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert or Sen. Orrin Hatch)? The answer is yes: Based on recent experience, he probably will get away with it."

Tuesday's must-reads

Christian Science Monitor: Battleground shifting, but election could come down again to Florida and its 27 electoral votes. "The state remains, in the estimation of many analysts, the closest in the nation. And the fact that it has lately been wracked by four hurricanes -- leaving many voters paying no attention to politics -- only adds to its unpredictability."

New York Times: Bush was warned of costly consequences of an Iraq invasion two months before the war began. Intelligence reports forecast violent internal conflict and possible insurgency.

AP: FBI has backlog of hundreds of thousands of hours of untranslated audio tapes from al-Qaida intercepts, despite millions more dollars and hundreds more linguists devoted to translations since the 2001 terror attacks.

AP: King of Jordan says elections would be impossible in the "chaos of Iraq today" and he sees no sign of improvement.
