The Boston Globe calls the wiretapping remark "Romney's Slip"

Romney was speaking at the Heritage Foundation, in his capacity of governor, on the topic ''Homeland Security: Status of Federal, State, and Local Efforts." He also was auditioning before a Washington audience for a potential national candidacy. A would-be president should know better than to slight Muslims, a vital foreign policy constituency.

Romney made the remark as he discussed his reactions to the Sept. 11 attacks. "Prevention begins with intelligence . . . How about people in settings, mosques for instance, that maybe are teaching doctrines of hate, are we monitoring that, wiretapping . . . ?"

there's little that aggravates me more than a major media organ deliberately downplaying a major news item... romney's suggestion was no friggin' SLIP... it was deliberately crafted and presented before a receptive audience... the only SLIP romney made was in not understanding in advance how such b.s. would be received on the national stage... just another pandering loser... how the hell do they keep getting elected...?
