c2, I would love to take what people write/say at face value but I know one cannot do that with Toensing and her husband. And the Bush administration has simply raised the bar for public deception.

However, I think there is more at stake. To some degree, this is the behavior of any set of pols in power (there are exceptions but they are few and far between--I once, much to my everlasting regret, voted against one of them). One must have independent corroboration for what they and their surrogates put out in public. And it's something that has grown worse over the last three or four decades.

Customarily, we have two "supervisors" for such, Congress held by a different party and the fourth estate. Neither are functioning at the moment.
