Bush caves on wire taps

A day before Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales was to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee the Bush administration decides it live with a court having some control over wire tapping (the emphasis is on some control since the exact role of the court is not be described by the administration). It seems this still does not sit well with members of the committe. See the story in the Post. Howard Kurtz has an interesting column on the reaction to this change.

It seems the Bush administration is picking its battles with the new Democratic Congress. Obviously it saw this as a no win situation.

Sounds like hmmmm cut and run to me.
