I favor an aggressive expansion of America's intelligence capabilities domestically and around the world.

I judge each person on individual merits.

All my stories were usually titled, 'White House Says,' 'President Bush Wants,' and I relied on transcripts from the briefings. I relied on press releases that were sent to the press for the purpose of accurately portraying what the White House believed or wanted.

If I am communicating to my readers exactly what the White House believes on any certain issue, that's reporting to them an unvarnished, unfiltered version of what they - the Administration - believe.

Christian is a term used to describe a broad range of those who believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. I think of myself at an Evangelical Christian and regularly attend a Pentecostal church.

The Democrats need to govern for all Americans as well as deliver for their core constituencies. It will be difficult for them to do both.

I enjoy competing in the marketplace of free ideas.
