Representative Jane Harman of California, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Mr. Bush should have disclosed the program years ago and called his speech “the opening salvo in the fall campaign.”

Oh, so now they want trials? I recall partisan democrats bitterly claiming that Bush would pull Bin Lauden out of a hat prior to the 2004 election. Alas, he did not. However, he appears to have done the next best thing this year. I wouldn't, however, characterize this as the opening salvo in the fall campaign. The opening salvo is the reason you can't bring water on an airplane.
