TERROR-WARNING UPDATE: Greg Djerejian says it’s not just a “rowback,” it’s a “walkback” at the New York Times and Washington Post regarding their coverage of the terror warning data:

Again, why is Bush being assailed, almost daily, as a scurrilous purveyor of half-truths and/or Big Lies? Because that’s a judicious read on the merits–or because the Democrats are now increasingly playing politics with the terror alert issue?

They should be very careful here (as Kerry, sensing this, has been of late). It’s a strategy (most recently floated by Dean on Wolf’s Blitzer show) that will back-fire on them in a big way. After all, it reinforces the image that the Democrats don’t take national (or homeland) security seriously enough. And, believe me, that’s not an image the Dems wanna stoke.

No, it’s not.
