It is up to the government to keep the government's secrets.

With nearly two years remaining in his presidency, George W. Bush is alone. In half a century, I have not seen a president so isolated from his own party in Congress - not Jimmy Carter, not even Richard Nixon as he faced impeachment. Republicans in Congress do not trust their president to protect them.

I'm 72-years-old. There's not a hell of a lot they can do to me. I will continue to report what I see and what I feel to be true.

The member of Congress who is not making a career of politics looks quite differently at the world.
