An extract, the idea being that the governing elite worry that the  
Bush cabal has failed in its aims, has been too imprudent; hence the  
"leaks" from within the power elite regarding the missing torture  
tapes and the NIE report.

Most of Bush's elite critics are still too scared of
"you-don't-support-the-troops" demagogy to confront the
President head on. Hence the latest cave-in by congressional
Democrats in voting Bush the no-strings-attached funds he wants
for Iraq. But via backroom maneuver and leaks, they are trying
to change Bush's course and make sure a more prudent imperial
custodian can come to power.
