as usual, the best and most real commentary in the papers is in the letters to the editor:
Editor -- ...Bush says that it is "shameful" that word was leaked to the public about his domestic-spying program. What is really shameful is that Bush is still in the White House and not under impeachment. All precedent, law, common sense and common decency demand that Bush be held accountable for breaking his oath of office. He cannot pledge before God to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" and then refer to it as a "scrap of paper" that has no application to him. If the chief executive, whose primary responsibility is enforcement of the law, defies the law with impunity, we become a lawless society. If Congress does not vote to impeach Bush, this nation is in danger of becoming a grotesque parody of democracy.-- ART ROGERS, Martinez
