I am more concerned about those Bush Officials working in the shadows liek Negroponte…the people who are pulling the strings…where Cheney spends most of his time. All these Reagan Iran-Contra holdovers like Poindexter who are setting the agenda. Or the Heny Kissengers that move like shadows in and out of the oval office.
