Speaking of the FBI raid, Bush has just ordered a 45-day freeze on the records seized so that the situation can be resolved in a manner "that shows respect for a coequal branch of government."
Mark my words, if any when the legislative comes after Bush, he's going to point back to this and say "We respected a coequal branch of government, and you have to as well."

Zoellick was forced to defend the American position on Iran several times, citing the hard-line Tehran leadership's denial of the Holocaust and its calls to destroy the Jewish state. During a panel Sunday with Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa, a former Egyptian foreign minister, talks devolved into interruptions and accusations.
"What about Israel's nuclear program?" Moussa demanded at one point.
"It does not have a declared program. I don't know for sure what it may or may not have," a visibly flustered Zoellick responded. Guffaws rippled through the audience.
