But he says it's "no accident" that hasn't happened yet, and points to administration-backed anti-terrorism tools that have drawn criticism from Democrats who argue that Bush has overreached. He wraps up by asserting it is "no surprise that such a party would turn its back on a man like Senator Joe Lieberman," the Connecticut Democrat (and Cheney counterpart on Al Gore's ticket in 2000) who lost...
