and by talk i mean

The Bush administration has defended its partial release of a report linking the Iraq conflict to global terrorism against calls for the full report

and why you ask?

Press secretary Tony Snow said releasing the full report, portions of which President Bush declassified on Tuesday, would jeopardize the lives of agents who gathered the information (AP)

no.

With President Bush apparently set to make another national address by the end of this week - the subject, we’re told, is terrorism again - the White House campaign for public opinion on the war in Iraq and the terrorists Mr. Bush called “mean people” on Tuesday, remains at full throttle. (NY times)

mean people. so so mean. stop it. really now.
