The "P.R. Machine"

For months now, Democrats (and some Republicans too) have been clamoring for the administration to show them proof that Saddam is continuing his weapons programs. Finally, with arguments in the administration going down to the wire over how much information Collin Powell should reveal, the Secretary of State made the airtight case at the U.N. last week. So the New York Times' Elisabeth Bumiller calls the administration's efforts to release information at the risk of compromising information sources a "P.R. Machine."
