In a long story about the goings-on at the White House after Saddam was captured, the Washington Post reports that “the administration was so conscious of how the news would play in the Arab world that Bush canceled plans to attend St. John’s Church, an Episcopal congregation in Washington, yesterday morning because he did not want that to be the setting for his first public appearance after the capture.”
Good thinking. This will probably put an end to all the “Crusader Bush” rhetoric in the Islamic world.
