After a discussion of the ways the bureaucracy tries to subvert elected officials, the Washington Times commentary page editor offers another suggestion that George W. Bush’s political opponents are traitors:

This is the trifecta that President Bush has chosen to compete in: Fight our foreign enemies, stand by the convictions he expressed in the election and appoint smart people who are loyal to him in the agencies. This means war to the political death all winter, spring and summer in Washington. If George W. Bush gets his nominees through and is still standing tall in August, we may be in for a historic presidency. But every yard gained on Pennsylvania Avenue will have been taken under heavy fire — from all five columns.
