A classic headline
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6119690.stm<snip>
There was the Mark Foley "October surprise" over his inappropriate e-mails to teenage pages, and the "one week to go" surprise of John Kerry's botched joke about grunts in Iraq.
There was the "eve of election day surprise" of 2004 when, who should pop up on the airwaves but Osama Bin Laden, punctiliously even handed, endorsing neither candidate, calling them both equally evil.
That surprise was so slick and timely it could have been signed off with the words: "I'm Osama Bin Laden and I approved this message."
When military "in-house" magazines, more comfortable with cheerleading, call for the scalps of their bosses in the middle of an unpopular war, you know you have a problem.
Welcome to the season of bitter verdicts!
