1. I wish the reporters would respond by pointing out that he
didn't answer the question. Do you think average Americans notice that?

5. He said revealing our methods by talking about them endangers us.
But, why couldn't he at least have said in response to that question something like, these methods have resulted the the prevention of n terrorist plots. No names of countries, nor times, nor places, nor terrorist names to give clues about the methods used, just the count of plans interrupted (and maybe compared to plans interrupted under other administrations, using other methods, to show the "efficacy" of BushCo's methods). There is no reason he couldn't have said, "We stopped n terrorist plans using this method" in response to the reporters question.

Okay, I'll grant that point, But, why couldn't he at least have said in response to that question something like, these methods have resulted the the prevention of n terrorist plots.

2. LOL. Like Jon Stewart said, these people are horrible liars
A smarter person might have found a way to dodge the question, or would have made something up.

These idiots don't even bother. Its either stupidity or arrogance.

"Bam! Denial! That's it! Next question?"
