Mixed Messages Natural Part of Government

WASHINGTON -- One day, the transportation security agency asks permission to cut the air marshals' program to help balance its overall budget. The next day, the government warns airlines and law enforcement agencies about possible new terrorist hijackings before the end of summer.

President Bush says the terror threat "is a real threat" yet his spokesman says there are no plans to raise the terror alert level from yellow, where it has been since just after Memorial Day.

Progress is being made in Iraq, Bush says. But U.S. forces are being killed in almost daily ambush attacks and deposed President Saddam Hussein remains at large.

Is the government mixing up its messages?

1. Didn't Ted Olson argue for the right of government to lie?
That's the headline for BFEE. For Clinton, it would've been: waffles, lies, impeach!
