By way of WashingtonMonthly, we get a pointer to the below photo (which it seems will appear in Newsweek. The photo accompanies a story which seeks to establish the premise that the terrorist warnings released during at immediately following the Democratic National Convention were NOT POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.


CAPTION: Politics or prudence? Deputy National Security Advisor Fran Townsend and senior White House staff in the Roosevelt room.

What is our good friend Karl Rove doing in a non-political meeting of this nature. Somehow, "senior White House staff" seems to understate reality. Glad that Newsweek didn't let the photos get in the way of researching their story.

Best Comment on this picture: "Oh, Karl? He just came in to borrow their stapler."
