'Every counterterrorism expert the White House hires who isn?t (a) a hidebound ideologue or (b) a dyed-in-the-wool Bush loyalist eventually becomes so disgusted with the mix of incompetence and mendacity that is the White House?s counterterrorism policy that he eventually quits and then immediately sets about trying to drive the president from office.' - Josh Marshall.
