The Arizona Republic Editorial:

Are they liars? Or sheep?

Members of Congress now taking turns at re-writing the history of the advent of the war in Iraq are presenting the public with a choice.

The list of opportunists feeding at the wounds of a now-unpopular president is lengthy, growing and increasingly distressing in its unspoken message: that their dislike or hatred of President Bush is so consuming that congressional critics will risk exposing themselves as dupes or liars to thwart him politically.
