IN PRESIDENT BUSH'S first term, some of the most important decisions about U.S. national security -- including vital decisions about postwar Iraq -- were made by a secretive, little-known cabal. It was made up of a very small group of people led by Vice President Dick Cheney

There are liberals on this site that use this technique and have done so for a long time. This is nothing new. Buckley's statement gets to the heart of the problem. Where is the sense of outrage about using that vile term.
