"We hope" Congress will halt Bush's spying

maybe i'm being unnecessarily picky, but i would really like to see the nyt use a little bit stronger language than "we hope..."
The first lawsuits challenging the legality of the domestic spying operation were filed this week, and Congress plans hearings. We hope that lawmakers are more diligent about reining in Mr. Bush now than they have been about his other abuses of power in the name of fighting terrorism.

"i hope" alitalia's one-day strike tomorrow isn't going to affect my flight on friday... "i hope" the sun continues to shine all day today and it doesn't rain... "i hope" my new laptop will last longer than the old one... "i hope" george bush and his criminal posse decide to resign...
