David Broder s (of the Washington Post) pick for the most consequential news that will spill over into 2006 and why. (The Iraq War) Gebe Martinez of the Houston Chronicle further analyzes the consequences of the Iraqi War that have come up and will come up. Janet Hook of the LA Times discusses the benchmarks that the administration wants to achieve in Iraq. Jeanne Cummings makes a point to say that pressure from Congress to the White House is increasing to have some kind of plan to withdraw troops from Iraq before the November elections. David Broder believes this pressure s origins are from the people/voters. Janet Hook also adds that Congress will review domestic wiretapping and the anti-terror bill when it returns to session. Gebe Martinez agrees and adds that there will be more Congressional oversight and scrutiny on these matters especially since the White House has been asking for more appropriations regarding anti-terror, surveillance, and war funding.
