I’m pleased to report that this Thanksgiving will be a secure one for the American people. Although President Bush recently took part in the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey on the White House lawn, he did not engage in this trivial pasttime without an eye on the bigger picture.

Despite the pardon, the turkey was not set free--but rather shuttled off to the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba to be questioned about taking part in a highly suspicious gathering of like-minded fellows.

Happy Thanksgiving.
